NF-kappaB transcription factors promote survival in numerous cell types via induction of antiapoptotic genes. Pharmacological blockade of the IKK2 kinase with AS602868, a specific inhibitor that competes with ATP binding, prevented TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation in Jurkat leukemic T cells. While TNF-alpha by itself had no effect on Jurkat survival, the addition of AS602868 induced cell death, visualized by DNA fragmentation and sub-G1 analysis. A disruption of the mitochondrial potential followed by activation of caspases 9 and 3 was observed in cells treated by the combination TNF-alpha+AS602868. Quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that AS602868 prevented TNF-alpha induction of the antiapoptotic genes coding for c-IAP-2, Bclx, Bfl-1/A1 and Traf-1. The use of a specific IKK2 inhibitor appears, therefore, as an interesting pharmaceutical strategy to increase the cell's sensitivity towards apoptotic effectors.
核因子κB转录因子通过诱导抗凋亡基因,促进多种细胞类型的存活。用AS602868(一种与ATP结合竞争的特异性抑制剂)对IKK2激酶进行药理阻断,可防止肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)诱导的Jurkat白血病T细胞中的核因子κB激活。虽然TNF-α本身对Jurkat细胞的存活没有影响,但添加AS602868会诱导细胞死亡,通过DNA片段化和亚G1期分析可见。在用TNF-α+AS602868联合处理的细胞中,观察到线粒体膜电位破坏,随后半胱天冬酶9和3被激活。定量实时PCR表明,AS602868可阻止TNF-α诱导编码细胞凋亡抑制蛋白2(c-IAP-2)、Bcl-x、Bfl-1/A1和肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子1(Traf-1)的抗凋亡基因。因此,使用特异性IKK2抑制剂似乎是一种增加细胞对凋亡效应物敏感性的有趣药物策略。
