Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) is an inducible nuclear transcription factor regulating a range of cellular processes. An imbalance of the DNA binding activity of NF-kappa B may, therefore, be part of the pathophysiological mechanisms in psoriasis. The purpose of this study was to determine the NF-kappa B DNA binding activity in psoriatic skin using three different kappa B sites and to determine how DNA binding activity was modulated by the anti-psoriatic drug calcipotriol. By electrophoretic mobility shift assay, we demonstrated that the NF-kappa B DNA binding to the p53 kappa B site was decreased, whereas the NF-kappa B DNA binding to the interleukin-8 (IL-8) kappa B site was increased in lesional psoriatic skin compared with non-lesional psoriatic skin. No regulation was seen on the NF-kappa B DNA binding to the major histocompatibility complex class I kappa B site. These changes were paralleled by a similar decrease in p53 expression and an increase in IL-8 expression in involved psoriatic skin compared with uninvolved skin as determined by quantitative RT-PCR. The alteration in NF-kappa B DNA binding activity was neither accompanied by any change in the expression of the inhibitor kappa B (I kappa B) kinases, IKK alpha, IKK beta, and IKK gamma nor in the expression of the NF-kappa B inhibitor proteins, I kappa B alpha and I kappa B beta. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that p65 was sequestered in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes, whereas p50 exhibited a cytoplasmic as well as a nuclear localization. Interestingly, this distribution of p50 and p65 was similar in lesional and non-lesional psoriatic skin. Topical application of calcipotriol to lesional psoriatic skin for 4 d resulted in increased NF-kappa B binding to the p53 kappa B site and decreased NF-kappa B binding to the IL-8 kappa B site. Taken together, our data demonstrate that the NF-kappa B DNA binding activity is regulated in a specific manner in psoriatic skin depending on the kappa B sites investigated, and that topical treatment of psoriatic skin normalizes the abnormal NF-kappa B binding activity seen in lesional psoriatic skin.
