Proliferative responses of lymphoid cells to IL-2 and IL-4 depend
on activation of the cells, but the mechanism(s) by which activation
enhances cellular competence to respond to cytokines is not fully
understood. The NF-
B/Rel family represents one signal transduction
pathway induced during such activation. We show in this study that
inhibition of NF-
B through the expression of an I
B
(inhibitory
protein that dissociates from NF-
B) mutant refractory to
signal-induced degradation (I
B
(
N)) interfered with the
acquisition of competence to proliferate in response to IL-4 as well as
IL-2. Thymocytes and T cells from I
B
(
N) transgenic mice
expressed normal levels of IL-2R subunits. However, transgenic cells
exhibited a dramatic defect in Stat5A activation treatment with IL-2,
and a similar defect was observed for IL-4-induced Stat5. In contrast,
T lymphoid cells with inhibition of NF-
B showed normal insulin
receptor substrate-2 phosphorylation and only a modest decrease in
Stat6 activation and insulin receptor substrate-1 phosphorylation after
IL-4 stimulation. These results indicate that the NF-
B/Rel/I
B
system can regulate cytokine receptor capacitation through effects on
the induction of downstream signaling by the Stat transcription factor
family.
