The redox-sensitive transcription factor NFκB mediates the expression of genes involved in inflammation and cell survival. Thioredoxin reductase-1 (TR1) and its substrate thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) act together to reduce oxidized cysteine residues within the DNA binding domain of NFκB and promote maximal DNA binding activity in vitro. It is not clear, however, if NFκB is regulated via this mechanism within living cells. The purpose of the present study was to determine the mechanism of NFκB modulation by TR1 in cells stimulated with the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF). In both control cells and in cells depleted of TR1 activity through chemical inhibition or siRNA knock down, TNF stimulation resulted in degradation of the cytoplasmic NFκB inhibitor IκB-α and translocation of NFκB to the nucleus. Similarly, the DNA binding activity and redox state of NFκB were unaffected by TR1 depletion. In contrast, NFκB-mediated gene expression was markedly inhibited in cells lacking TR1 activity, suggesting that the transactivation potential of NFκB is sensitive to changes in TR1 activity. Consistent with this concept, phosphorylation of the transactivation domain of NFκB was inhibited in the presence of curcumin. Surprisingly, another TR1 inhibitor, 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, had no effect, and siRNA knock down of TR1 actually increased phosphorylation at this site. These results demonstrate that TR1 activity controls the transactivation potential of NFκB, and that more than one mechanism may mediate this effect.
