B/Rel activation requires both
Ca2+ and protein kinase C as
messengers
Department of Medicine I, University of Ulm, 89070 Ulm, Germany
The eukaryotic transcription factor NF-
B/Rel
is activated by a large variety of stimuli. We have recently shown that
NF-
B/Rel is induced during the course of caerulein
pancreatitis. Here, we show that activation of NF-
B/Rel by
caerulein, a CCK analog, requires increasing intracellular
Ca2+ levels and protein kinase C
activation. Caerulein induces a dose-dependent increase of nuclear
NF-
B/Rel binding activity in pancreatic lobules, which is paralleled
by degradation of I
B
. I
B
was only slightly affected by
caerulein treatment. Consistent with an involvement of
Ca2+, the endoplasmic
reticulum-resident Ca2+-ATPase
inhibitor thapsigargin activated NF-
B/Rel in pancreatic lobules. The
intracellular Ca2+ chelator TMB-8
prevented I
B
degradation and subsequent nuclear translocation of
NF-
B/Rel induced by caerulein. BAPTA-AM was less effective.
Cyclosporin A, a
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein
phosphatase (PP2B) inhibitor, decreased caerulein-induced NF-
B/Rel
activation and I
B
degradation. The inhibitory
effect of bisindolylmaleimide suggests that protein kinase C activity
is also required for caerulein-induced NF-
B/Rel activation. These
data suggest that Ca2+- as well as
protein kinase C-dependent mechanisms are required for
caerulein-induced NF-
B/Rel activation.
