Inhibition of NFkappa B Activity through Maintenance of Ikappa Balpha Levels Contributes to Dihydrotestosterone-mediated Repression of the Interleukin-6 Promoter

Androgens repress expression of many genes, yet the mechanism of this activity has remained elusive. The cytokine, interleukin-6, is active in a variety of biological systems, and its expression is repressed by androgens. Accordingly we dissected the mechanism of androgen's ability to inhibit interleukin-6 expression at the molecular level. In a series of co-transfection assays, we found that 5alpha -dihydrotestosterone, through the androgen receptor, repressed activation of the interleukin-6 promoter, in part, by inhibiting NFkappa B activity. It did not appear that 5alpha -dihydrotestosterone inhibited NFkappa B by activating the androgen receptor to compete for the NFkappa B response element as we could not detect androgen receptor binding to the IL-6 promoter by DNase I footprinting assay. However, by electrophoretic mobility shift assay we found that 5alpha -dihydrotestosterone repressed formation of NFkappa B·NFkappa B response element complex formation. In LNCaP prostate carcinoma cells, 5alpha -dihydrotestosterone achieved this effect through maintenance of Ikappa Balpha protein levels in the face of phorbol ester, a stimulus that results in Ikappa Balpha degradation. Finally, we confirmed that Ikappa Balpha inhibits NFkappa B-mediated activation of the interleukin-6 promoter. These data suggest that maintenance of Ikappa Balpha levels may represent the first identified mechanism for androgen-mediated repression of a natural androgen-regulated gene.
