A number of pathogenic and proinflammatory stimuli, and the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta ) exert opposing activities in cellular and immune responses. Here we show that the RelA subunit of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B/RelA) is necessary for the inhibition of TGF-beta -induced phosphorylation, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding of SMAD signaling complexes by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha ). The antagonism is mediated through up-regulation of Smad7 synthesis and induction of stable associations between ligand-activated TGF-beta receptors and inhibitory Smad7. Down-regulation of endogenous Smad7 by expression of antisense mRNA releases TGF-beta /SMAD-induced transcriptional responses from suppression by cytokine-activated NF-kappa B/RelA. Following stimulation with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta , NF-kappa B/RelA induces Smad7 synthesis through activation of Smad7 gene transcription. These results suggest a mechanism of suppression of TGF-beta /SMAD signaling by opposing stimuli mediated through the activation of inhibitory Smad7 by NF-kappa B/RelA.

[Key Words: NF-kappa B; SMADs; TGF-beta ; signal transduction; cytokines]
