title: Inhibition of the production of rat cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1, a member of the interleukin-8 family, by adenovirus-mediated overexpression of IkappaBalpha.
abstract: Cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1, a counterpart of the human growth-regulated gene product (GRO) of the interleukin-8 family, has been suggested to play critical roles as a mediator of inflammatory reactions with neutrophil infiltration in rats. NF-kappaB has been speculated to be involved in the production of CINC-1, since the NF-kappaB-binding domain is important for the CINC-1 promoter activity in several of our reporter assays. In the present study, we examined the effects of an overexpression of IkappaBalpha, a specific natural inhibitor of NF-kappaB, on CINC-1 production. For this purpose, we constructed two recombinant adenoviruses, AxCAIkappaBalpha and AxCAmutantIkappaBalpha, which express respectively wild IkBa and a mutated nondegradable IkappaBalpha in which serine residues 32 and 36 are replaced by alanine residues. Transfecting wild and mutant IkBa by these adenovirus vectors inhibited NF-kappaB activation and CINC-1 production, which were both caused by IL-1beta stimulation in the normal rat kidney epithelial cell line NRK-52E. We also showed that the nondegradable mutant IkappaBalpha was approximately 30 times more potent than the wild type in inhibiting CINC-1 production. These findings demonstrate that CINC-1 production with NF-kappaB activation is primarily regulated by non-phosphorylated IkBa in the cytoplasm.
