Ambiguous roles of genotoxic anticancer therapeutic-induced NF-κB activation in regulating gene expression (activation or suppression) and apoptosis (anti- or pro-apoptosis) have recently been suggested. In order to clarify this controversy and determine the usefulness of NF-κB blockage for sensitizing anticancer therapy, we have systematically investigated the effect of distinct NF-κB-blocking approaches on lung cancer cells’ responses to Adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity. The results show that Adriamycin-induced NF-κB activation functions as a transcriptional activator triggering the expression of anti-apoptotic genes. Blocking NF-κB with IKKβ or RelA siRNA substantially sensitized Adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity, suggesting that the NF-κB pathway could be a target for sensitizing lung cancer cells to Adriamycin’s anticancer effect. Surprisingly, although it effectively blocks NF-κB activation, the IκBα super-suppressor (IκBαAA) antagonized Adriamycin-induced cell death. Additionally, the induction of death receptor 5 (DR5), which contributes to Adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity, was not affected by NF-κB blockage. Thus, our results suggest that Adriamycin-induced NF-κB is a transcriptional activator that protects lung cancer cells against apoptosis, and IKKβ or RelA siRNA rather than IκBαAA is an appropriate NF-κB blocking approach for sensitizing lung cancer cells to Adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity.
