B1 (p50) Homodimer Activity and Bcl-2 Expression in a Murine B-Cell Lymphoma Cell Line

From the Department of Experimental Radiation Oncology, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030
In a previously published report (Kurland, J. F., Kodym, R., Story, M. D.,
Spurgers, K. B., McDonnell, T. J., and Meyn, R. E. (2001) J. Biol.
Chem. 276, 4538045386), we described the NF
B status for two
murine B-cell lymphoma cell lines, LY-as (apoptosis-sensitive) and LY-ar
(apoptosis-refractory) and provided evidence that NF
B1 (p50) homodimers
contribute to the expression of Bcl-2 in the LY-ar line. In the present study,
we investigated the upstream signals leading to p50 homodimer activation and
Bcl-2 expression. We found that in LY-ar cells, ERK1 and ERK2 were
constitutively phosphorylated, whereas LY-as cells had no detectable ERK1 or
ERK2 phosphorylation. Treatment of LY-ar cells with the MEK inhibitors PD
98059, U0126, and PD 184352 led to a loss of phosphorylated ERK1 and ERK2, a
reversal of nuclear p50 homodimer DNA binding, and a decrease in Bcl-2 protein
expression. Similarly, activation of the MEK/ERK pathway in LY-as cells by
phorbol ester led to Bcl-2 expression that could be blocked by PD 98059.
Furthermore, treatment of LY-ar cells with tumor necrosis factor-
, an
I
B kinase activator, did not alter the suppressive effect of PD 98059
on p50 homodimer activity, suggesting an I
B kinase-independent pathway
for p50 homodimer activation. Lastly, all three MEK inhibitors sensitized
LY-ar cells to radiation-induced apoptosis. We conclude that the MEK/ERK
pathway acts upstream of p50 homodimer activity and Bcl-2 expression in this
B-cell lymphoma cell system and suggest that the use of MEK inhibitors could
be useful clinically in combination with ionizing radiation to treat lymphoid
malignancies.
