PG - 1355-63 AB - The activation of transcription factor NF-kappa B by TNF involves the stimulation of a novel signaling cascade. In this paper we show that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) may play a pivotal role in TNF-mediated activation of NF-kappa B-dependent genes. Consistent with its involvement in TNF signaling, PI 3-kinase activities in HepG2 and U937 cells can be stimulated by TNF in a rapid but transient manner through a mechanism that may involve its association with the insulin receptor substrate-1. A dominant-negative mutant of the p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase, which is a potent inhibitor of PI 3-kinase signaling, effectively blocked the TNF-induced expression of an NF-kappa B-dependent reporter gene. Although PI 3-kinase may be required for NF-kappa B activation, overexpression of its p110 catalytic subunit alone was unable to induce an NF-kappa B/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene. However, when TNF was added to p110-overexpressing cells, there was a synergistic activation of the NF-kappa B/CAT reporter, suggesting that other TNF-inducible signals may cooperate with PI 3-kinase to activate NF-kappa B. Consistent with its role in NF-kappa B activation, inhibition of PI 3-kinase activity by wortmannin or LY294002 greatly potentiated TNF-induced apoptosis. This TNF/wortmannin-induced apoptosis was markedly prevented in cells overexpressing Rel A. Taken together, our results indicate that a PI 3-kinase-regulated step in TNF-signaling is critical for the expression of NF-kappa B-dependent genes.
