NF-κB also blocks programmed cell death (PCD) or apoptosis triggered by proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α. Through transcriptional induction of distinct subsets of cyto-protective target genes, NF-κB inhibits the execution of apoptosis activated by this cytokine. This protective action is mediated, in part, by factors (such as A20, GADD45β, and XIAP) that downregulate the pro-apoptotic c-Jun-N-terminal (JNK) pathway. A suppression of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are themselves major cell death-inducing elements activated by TNFα, is an additional protective function recently ascribed to NF-κB. This function of NF-κB involves an induction of mitochondrial anti-oxidant enzyme, manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), and a control of cellular iron availability through upregulation of Ferritin heavy chain - one of two subunits of Ferritin, the major iron storage protein complex of the cell. An emerging view of NF-κB is that, while integrated, its actions in immunity and in promoting cell survival are executed through upregulation of distinct subsets of target genes. Thus, these inducible blockers of apoptosis may provide potential new targets to inhibit specific functions of NF-κB. In the future, this might allow for a better treatment of complex human diseases involving dysregulated NF-κB activity, including chronic inflammatory conditions and cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":88233,"journal":{"name":"Current medicinal chemistry.

The biochemical signalling pathways that lead from death receptors or mitochondria to the degradation of DNA and apoptotic cell death are wellcharacterized. Furthermore, it is clear that apoptotic cell death is important for the normal biology in all organisms. Apoptotic cell death is equally important in the context of virus infection such that the induction of apoptosis appears to be a generalised innate response to the insult of virus infection. As a consequence, viral-mediated regulation of apoptosis is crucial for the successful replication and survival of most viruses. For this reason viruses have evolved multiple strategies to subvert the apoptotic response. This review summarises the mechanisms by which viral gene products inhibit the production of TNFα, the interaction between TNFα and TNF-Rs, the expression of TNF-Rs, and inhibit virtually all aspects of TNF-R signalling, including TNF-R-mediated apoptosis and TNF-R-mediated proliferation and inflammation.
