Divergent gene regulation and growth effects by NF-κB in epithelial and mesenchymal cells of human skin

Oncogene volume 22, pages 1955–1964 (2003)Cite this article

Abstract

NF-κB regulates normal and pathological processes, including neoplasia, in a tissue-context-dependent manner. In skin, NF-κB is implicated in epidermal homeostasis as well as in the pathogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma; however, its function in the underlying mesenchymal dermis has been unclear. To gain insight into NF-κB roles in these two adjacent cutaneous tissue compartments, NF-κB effects on expression of 12 435 genes were determined in epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. Although NF-κB induced proinflammatory and antiapoptotic genes in both settings, it exhibited divergent effects on growth regulatory genes. In keratinocytes, but not in fibroblasts, NF-κB induced p21CIP1, which was sufficient to inhibit growth of both cell types. Levels of growth inhibitory factor (GIF), in contrast, were increased by NF-κB in both settings but inhibited growth only in keratinocytes. These findings indicate that transcription factors such as NF-κB can program tissue-selective effects via both differential target gene induction as well as by inducing common targets that exert differing effects depending on cellular lineage.
