Role of neutrophil NADPH oxidase in the mechanism of tumor necrosis factor-alpha -induced NF-kappa B activation and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression in endothelial cells.
Journal of Biological Chemistry 2002 Februrary 2
In this study, we explored a novel function of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) NAD(P)H oxidase in the mechanism of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha)-induced NF-kappaB activation and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in endothelial cells. Studies were made in mice lacking the p47(phox) subunit of NAD(P)H oxidase as well as in cultured mouse lung vascular endothelial cells (MLVEC) from these mice. In response to TNFalpha challenge, NF-kappaB activation and ICAM-1 expression were significantly attenuated in lungs of p47(phox)(-/-) mice as compared with wild-type (WT) mice. The attenuated NF-kappaB activation in p47(phox)(-/-) mice was secondary to inhibition of NIK activity and subsequent IkappaBalpha degradation. Induction of neutropenia using anti-PMN serum prevented the initial TNFalpha-induced NF-kappaB activation and ICAM-1 expression in WT mice, indicating the involvement of PMN NAD(P)H oxidase in signaling these responses. Moreover, the responses were restored upon repletion with PMN obtained from WT mice but not with PMN from p47(phox)(-/-) mice. These findings were recapitulated in MLVEC co-cultured with PMN, suggesting that NF-kappaB activation and resultant ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells occurred secondary to oxidants generated by the PMN NAD(P)H oxidase complex. The functional relevance of the PMN NAD(P)H oxidase in mediating TNFalpha-induced ICAM-1-dependent endothelial adhesivity was evident by markedly reduced adhesion of p47(phox)(-/-) PMN in co-culture experiments. Thus, oxidant signaling by the PMN NAD(P)H oxidase complex is an important determinant of TNFalpha-induced NF-kappaB activation and ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells.
