LIGHT is a member of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, and its function is mediated through lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR), which is known to play important roles in inflammatory and immune responses through activation of NF-κB signaling pathways. However, molecular mechanism of LTβR ligation-induced NF-κB signaling remains incompletely understood. In this report we demonstrate that a novel zinc-finger protein 91 (ZFP91) is a critical regulator in LIGHT-induced activation of non-canonical NF-κB pathway. ZFP91 appears to be required for NF-κB2 (p100) processing to p52, nuclear translocation of p52 and RelB, and DNA-binding activity of NF-κB in LIGHT-induced activation of non-canonical NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, ZFP91 knock-down by RNA interference blocks the LIGHT-induced accumulation of NIK and p100 processing, as well as the expression of non-canonical NF-κB target genes. These data clearly indicate that ZFP91 is a key regulator in LIGHT-induced activation of non-canonical NF-κB pathway in LTβR signaling.
LIGHT 是肿瘤坏死因子 (TNF) 超家族的成员,其功能通过淋巴毒素-β 受体 (LTβR) 介导,LTβR 通过激活 NF-κB 信号通路,已知在炎症和免疫反应中发挥重要作用。然而,LTβR 连接诱导的 NF-κB 信号转导的分子机制尚不完全清楚。在本报告中,我们证明了一种新型锌指蛋白 91 (ZFP91) 是 LIGHT 诱导的非典型 NF-κB 通路激活中的关键调节因子。ZFP91 似乎是 NF-κB2 (p100) 加工为 p52、p52 和 RelB 的核易位以及 LIGHT 诱导的非典型 NF-κB 通路中 NF-κB 的 DNA 结合活性所必需的。此外,RNA 干扰的 ZFP91 敲低阻断了 LIGHT 诱导的 NIK 积累和 p100 加工,以及非典型 NF-κB 靶基因的表达。这些数据清楚地表明,ZFP91 是 LTβR 信号中 LIGHT 诱导的非典型 NF-κB 通路激活的关键调节因子。
