Inhibition of NF-κB induces apoptosis of KSHV-infected primary effusion lymphoma cells

Keller, Shannon A., Schattner, Elaine J., Cesarman, Ethel·2000·Blood

Abstract

Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpervirus 8 (HHV-8), is a γ-herpesvirus that infects human lymphocytes and is associated with primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). Currently, the role of viral infection in the transformation of PEL cells is unknown. One possibility is that KSHV, like the lymphotropic viruses Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human T-cell leukemia virus I (HTLV-I), activates the transcription factor NF-κB to promote survival and proliferation of infected lymphocytes. To examine this possibility, we assessed NF-κB activity in KSHV-infected PEL cell lines and primary tumor specimens by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). We observed that NF-κB is constitutively activated in all KSHV-infected lymphomas, and consists of 2 predominant complexes, p65/p50 heterodimers and p50/p50 homodimers. Inhibition experiments demonstrated that Bay 11-7082, an irreversible inhibitor of IκBα phosphorylation, completely and specifically abrogated the NF-κB/DNA binding in PEL cells. PEL cells treated with Bay 11 demonstrated down-regulation of the NF-κB inducible cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6), and apoptosis. These results suggest that NF-κB activity is necessary for survival of KSHV-infected lymphoma cells, and that pharmacologic inhibition of NF-κB may be an effective treatment for PEL.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
