Members of the NF-kappa B/RelB family of transcription factors play important roles in the regulation of inflammatory and immune responses. RelB, a member of this family, has been characterized as a transcription activator and is involved in the constitutive NF-kappa B activity in lymphoid tissues. However, in a previous study we observed an overexpression of chemokines in RelB-deficient fibroblasts. Here we show that RelB is an important transcription suppressor in fibroblasts which limits the expression of proinflammatory mediators and may exert its function by modulating the stability of Ikappa Balpha protein. Fibroblasts from relb-/- mice overexpress interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha ), IL-1beta , and tumor necrosis factor alpha in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. These cells have an augmented and prolonged LPS-inducible IKK activity and an accelerated degradation which results in a diminished level of Ikappa Balpha protein, despite an upregulated Ikappa Balpha mRNA expression. Consequently, NF-kappa B activity was augmented and postinduction repression of NF-kappa B activity was impaired in these cells. The increased kappa B-binding activity and cytokine overexpression was suppressed by introducing RelB cDNA or a dominant negative Ikappa Balpha into relb-/- fibroblasts. Our findings suggest a novel transcription suppression function of RelB in fibroblasts.
