PG - 975-83 AB - Mast cells (MC) are major effector cells for allergic diseases. Cross-linking of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and its high-affinity receptor, FcepsilonRI, by antigen initiates a cascade of signaling events leading to nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activation and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production. Here, we demonstrated that inhibition of inhibitor of kappaB (IkappaB) kinase (IKK) by a peptide IKK inhibitor or by four individual chemical IKK inhibitors including 15-deoxy-prostaglandin J(2), BMS-345541, SC-514, or sulindac significantly blocked IgE + trinitrophenyl (TNP)-induced TNF production by mouse bone marrow-derived MC (BMMC). Moreover, IgE + TNP induced a rapid phosphorylation of IKKalpha but not IKKbeta in BMMC. IgE + TNP-induced phosphorylation of IKKalpha was accompanied with phosphorylation and degradation of IkappaBalpha, subsequent NF-kappaB activation, and TNF production. Inhibition of IKK by sulindac decreased IKKalpha phosphorylation, IkappaBalpha phosphorylation and degradation, NF-kappaB activation, and TNF production by BMMC. It is interesting that IgE + TNP stimulation also induced a prominent synthesis of IKKalpha and IkappaBalpha. Inhibition of NF-kappaB activity by pyrrolidine dithiocarbomate (PDTC) blocked IgE + TNP-induced IkappaBalpha synthesis. NF-kappaB activity and TNF production were also inhibited when PDTC was used even after IgE + TNP stimulation, suggesting a potential role for the newly synthesized IkappaBalpha in MC activation. In addition, IgE + TNP-induced IKKalpha and IkappaBalpha phosphorylation was inhibited by a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor Ro 31-8220. Taken together, our results support a role for the IKK-IkappaB-NF-kappaB pathway, which likely involves PKC in IgE-dependent TNF production by MC. Thus, IKK may serve as a new target for the regulation of MC function in allergy.
