Cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is characterized by constitutive activation of NFκB, which plays a crucial role in the survival of CTCL cells and their resistance to apoptosis. NFκB activity in CTCL is inhibited by the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib; however, the mechanisms remained unknown. In this study, we investigated mechanisms by which bortezomib suppresses NFκB activity in CTCL Hut-78 cells. We demonstrate that bortezomib and MG132 suppress NFκB activity in Hut-78 cells by a novel mechanism that consists of inducing nuclear translocation and accumulation of IκBα, which then associates with NFκB p65 and p50 in the nucleus and inhibits NFκB DNA binding activity. Surprisingly, however, while expression of NFκB-dependent anti-apoptotic genes cIAP1 and cIAP2 is inhibited by bortezomib, expression of Bcl-2 is not suppressed. Chromatin immunoprecipitation indicated that cIAP1 and cIAP2 promoters are occupied by NFκB p65/50 heterodimers, while Bcl-2 promoter is occupied predominantly by p50/50 homodimers. Collectively, our data reveal a novel mechanism of bortezomib function in CTCL and suggest that the inhibition of NFκB-dependent gene expression by bortezomib is gene specific and depends on the subunit composition of NFκB dimers recruited to NFκB-responsive promoters.
