This study reports a novel function of p50 in its regulation of SOD2 transcription via an NFκB-independent pathway. p50-regulated FoxO3a phosphorylation and transactivation contributes to SOD2 transcription, and p50–down-regulated PHLPP1 translation via miR190 is responsible for activation of Akt and FoxO3a. The biological functions of nuclear factor κB1 (NFκB1; p50) have not been studied as often as those of other members of the NFκB family due to its lack of a transcriptional domain. Our recent studies showed that p50 functions as an apoptotic mediator via its inhibition of GADD45α protein degradation and increase in p53 protein translation. Here we report a novel function of p50 in its regulation of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) transcription via an NFκB-independent pathway. We find that deletion of p50 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs; p50−/−) up-regulates SOD2 expression at both protein and mRNA levels. SOD2 promoter–driven luciferase is also up-regulated in p50−/− cells compared with wild-type (WT) MEF (p50+/+) cells, suggesting p50 regulation of SOD2 at the transcriptional level. Our results also show that p50 deficiency specifically results in down-regulation of phosphorylation and increased transactivation of FoxO3a compared with WT cells. Further studies indicate that p50–down-regulated FoxO3a phosphorylation is mediated by activated Akt via up-regulation of microRNA 190 (miR190), in turn inhibiting PH domain and leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase 1 (PHLPP1) translation. Together our studies identify a novel p50 function in the regulation of SOD2 transcription by modulating the miR190/PHLPP1/Akt-FoxO3a pathway, which provides significant insight into the physiological function of p50.
