Paclitaxel-induced immune suppression is associated with NF-kappaB activation via conventional PKC isotypes in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated 70Z/3 pre-B lymphocyte tumor cells.

Abstract：

:Paclitaxel, a potent antitumor agent, has been shown to be lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mimetic in mice, stimulating signaling pathways and gene expression indistinguishably from LPS. In the present study, we showed the intracellular signaling pathway of paclitaxel-induced nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation and its suppressive effect on LPS-induced signaling in murine 70Z/3 pre-B cells. Stimulation of 70Z/3 cells with LPS for 30 min caused activation of NF-kappaB in the nuclei by detection of DNA-protein binding specific to NF-kappaB. Similarly, paclitaxel also produced a marked and dose-related NF-kappaB activation. However, pretreatment of cells with 10 microM paclitaxel for 18 h resulted in complete inhibition of LPS-mediated NF-kappaB activation. Interestingly, the activity of IkappaB kinase (IKK-beta), which plays an essential role in NF-kappaB activation through IkappaB phosphorylation, was largely enhanced in paclitaxel-treated cells, detected as IkappaBalpha phosphorylation. Because protein kinase C (PKC) is implicated in the activation of NF-kappaB via IKK-beta, the effect of paclitaxel on PKC activation was also measured. It was shown that NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and DNA binding in response to paclitaxel was completely blocked by the conventional PKC inhibitor, Gö 6976. Moreover, immunoblotting analysis with paclitaxel-treated cell extract demonstrated that the conventional PKC isotype PKC-alpha was found to be involved in the regulation of paclitaxel-induced NF-kappaB activation, as determined by electrophoretic mobility shift of PKC. Therefore, these data suggest that paclitaxel may activate IKK-beta via conventional PKC isotypes, resulting in NF-kappaB activation and, finally, desensitization of LPS-inducible signaling pathway in 70Z/3 pre-B cells.
