Hepatitis B virus pX activates NF-kappa B-dependent transcription through a Raf-independent pathway.
In this study, we characterized the molecular events involved in the activation of the ubiquitous transcription factor NF-kappa B by the viral transactivator pX. pX expression in HeLa cells determines a manyfold increase in NF-kappa B-dependent transcription, which is associated with an increase in p50/p65 heterodimer DNA-binding activity. Since the I kappa B-alpha inhibitory subunit proteolyti...
متن کاملTransfection of human endothelial cells with HIV-1 tat gene activates NF-kappa B and enhances monocyte adhesion.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 Tat released from HIV-1-infected monocytes is believed to enter other cells via an integrin-facilitated pathway, resulting in altered gene expression. Indeed, exogenous Tat protein can increase cell adhesion molecule gene expression in human endothelial cells. Signaling pathways initiated by Tat in endothelial cells are not known. We evaluated the ability of...
متن کاملNF-kappa B activates prostate-specific antigen expression and is upregulated in androgen-independent prostate cancer.
The transcription factor NF-kappa B regulates gene expression involved in cell growth and survival and has been implicated in progression of hormone-independent breast cancer. By expressing a dominant-active form of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1, by exposure to tumor necrosis factor alpha, or by overexpression of p50/p65, we show that NF-kappa B activates a transcription regu...
متن کاملCytoskeletal control of gene expression: depolymerization of microtubules activates NF-kappa B
Cell shape changes exert specific effects on gene expression. It has been speculated that the cytoskeleton is responsible for converting changes in the cytoarchitecture to effects on gene transcription. However, the signal transduction pathways responsible for cytoskeletal-nuclear communication remained unknown. We now provide evidence that a variety of agents and conditions that depolymerize m...
متن کاملA dipalmitoylated lipoprotein from Mycoplasma pneumoniae activates NF-kappa B through TLR1, TLR2, and TLR6.
The pathogenesis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is considered to be in part attributed to excessive immune responses. Recently, lipoproteins from mycoplasmas have been reported to induce NF-kappaB activation. In this study, we examined the ability of lipoproteins from M. pneumoniae to activate NF-kappaB, and the active component responsible for the NF-kappaB activation was identified. Lipid...
