, TNF-
, and Fas

In this study, we
examined the role of the nuclear factor-
B (NF-
B)-inducing kinase
(NIK) in distinct signaling pathways leading to NF-
B activation. We
show that a dominant-negative form of NIK (dnNIK) delivered by
adenoviral (Ad5dnNIK) vector inhibits Fas-induced I
B
phosphorylation and NF-
B-dependent gene expression in HT-29 and HeLa
cells. Interleukin (IL)-1
- and tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF-
)-induced NF-
B activation and
B-dependent gene expression
are inhibited in HeLa cells but not in Ad5dnNIK-infected HT-29 cells.
Moreover, Ad5dnNIK failed to sensitize HT-29 cells to TNF-
-induced
apoptosis at an early time point. However, cytokine- and
Fas-induced signals to NF-
B are finally integrated by the I
B
kinase (IKK) complex, since I
B
phosphorylation, NF-
B DNA
binding activity, and IL-8 gene expression were strongly inhibited in
HT-29 and HeLa cells overexpressing dominant-negative IKK
(Ad5dnIKK
). Our findings support the concept that cytokine signaling
to NF-
B is redundant at the level of NIK. In addition, this study
demonstrates for the first time the critical role of NIK and IKK
in
Fas-induced NF-
B signaling cascade.
