title: Essential roles for NF-kappa B and a Toll/IL-1 receptor domain-specific signal(s) in the induction of I kappa B-zeta.
abstract: I kappa B-zeta, a new negative-regulator of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B), is strongly induced by lipopolysaccharide or interleukin-1 beta stimulation, but not by tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Here, we analyzed the mechanisms for transcriptional induction of I kappa B-zeta. I kappa B-zeta mRNA was induced by overexpression of MyD88 or TRAF6, but not TRAF2. Stimulation of macrophages with peptidoglycan or CpG DNA, which activated Toll-like receptor 2 or 9, respectively, also resulted in I kappa B-zeta induction. Thus, activation of the MyD88-dependent signaling pathway, commonly found downstream of different Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains, is sufficient for I kappa B-zeta induction. The induction was inhibited by treatment with various inhibitors of NF-kappa B activation or by overexpressing I kappa B-alpha or beta, indicating essential roles for NF-kappa B in I kappa B-zeta induction. However, overexpression of the NF-kappa B subunits induced I kappa B-alpha, but not I kappa B-zeta. These results indicate the existence of another signal essential for I kappa B-zeta induction, which is specifically mediated by the TIR domain-mediated signaling pathway.
