Peroxynitrite is a potent oxidant and nitrating species proposed as a direct effector of myocardial damage in numerous cardiac pathologies. Whether peroxynitrite also acts indirectly, by modulating cell signal transduction in the myocardium, has not been investigated. Therefore, we examined a possible role for peroxynitrite on the activation of NF-kappa B, a crucial pro-inflammatory transcription factor, in cultured H9C2 cardiomyocytes. H9C2 cells were stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha or lipopolysaccharide following a brief (20-min) exposure to peroxynitrite. NF-kappa B activation ( phosphorylation and degradation of its inhibitor I kappa B alpha, nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B p65, and NF-kappa B DNA binding) triggered by lipopolysaccharide or tumor necrosis factor-alpha was abrogated by peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite also inhibited NF-kappa B in two human endothelial cell lines activated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha or interleukin-1 beta. These effects were related to oxidative but not nitrative chemistry and were still being observed while nitration was suppressed by epicatechin. The mechanism of NF-kappa B inhibition by peroxynitrite was a complete blockade of phosphorylation and activation of the upstream kinase I kappa B kinase (IKK) beta, required for canonical, pro-inflammatory NF-kappa B activation. At the same time, peroxynitrite activated phosphorylation of NF-kappa B-inducing kinase and IKK alpha, considered as part of an alternative, noncanonical NF-kappa B activation pathway. Suppression of IKK beta-dependent NF-kappa B activation translated into a marked inhibition of the transcription of NF-kappa B-dependent genes by peroxynitrite. Thus, peroxynitrite has a dual effect on NF-kappa B, inhibiting canonical IKK beta-dependent NF-kappa B activation while activating NF-kappa B-inducing kinase and IKK alpha phosphorylation, which suggests its involvement in an alternative pathway of NF-kappa B activation. These findings offer new perspectives for the understanding of the relationships between redox stress and inflammation.
