BAD (BCL-2 antagonist of cell death) is a pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family protein that plays a critical role in the regulation of apoptotic response. This study presents direct evidence that AF1q increased the radiation-induced apoptosis through up-regulation of BAD in human squamous carcinoma A431 cells and the key transcription factor involved is NF-kappaB. The minimal promoter sequence of BAD was identified; the activity was increased in AF1q stable transfectants and decreased upon AF1q siRNA transfection. The NF-kappaB consensus binding sequence is detected on BAD promoter. Inactivation of NF-kappaB by NF-kappaB inhibitor Bay 11-7082 or NF-kappaB p65 siRNA suppressed the expression and promoter activity of BAD; the suppression is more obvious in AF1q stable transfectants which also have an elevated NF-kappaB level. Mutation of putative NF-kappaB motif decreased the BAD promoter activity. The binding of NF-kappaB to the BAD promoter was confirmed by chromatin-immunoprecipitation. These findings indicate that AF1q up-regulation of BAD is through its effect on NF-kappaB and this may hint of its oncogenic mechanism in cancer.
