Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible nitric-oxide synthase (NOSII) is mainly regulated at the transcriptional level by the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). In the present study, we further analyzed the role of NF-kappaB in the in vivo transcriptional regulation of NOSII gene by comparing two clones isolated from the EMT-6 mouse mammary cancer cell line. In response to interleukin (IL)-1beta or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), EMT-6 clone J (EMT-6J) cells produce 3-fold more NO than EMT-6 clone H (EMT-6H) cells, an effect correlated with enhanced activation of NF-kappaB in EMT-6J cells. In response to IL-1beta, the kinetics of degradation of NF-kappaB inhibitors IkappaB-alpha and IkappaB-beta, the nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling of the transcription factor and its binding to a specific DNA sequence were similar in both clones. In contrast, an IL-1beta-induced phosphorylation of serine residues in NF-kappaB p65 subunit was observed in EMT-6J, but not in EMT-6H, cells. This IL-1beta-induced phosphorylation of p65 was specifically prevented by pretreatment of EMT-6J cells with the casein kinase II inhibitor DRB. Small interfering RNA-mediated depletion of casein kinase II-alpha subunit also decreased NF-kappaB transcriptional activity and NOSII gene transcription in IL-1beta and LPS-stimulated EMT-6J cells to the levels observed in EMT-6H cells treated in the same conditions. Altogether, these data indicate that casein kinase II-mediated phosphorylation of p65 subunit can enhance the transcriptional activity of NF-kappaB in vivo. This post-translational modification of the transcription factor can be responsible for increased NOSII gene transcription and NO production in tumor cells exposed to either IL-1beta or LPS.
