- Abstract
- Opposite effects of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) on neuron survival rely on activation of diverse NF-kappa B factors. While p65 is necessary for glutamate-induced cell death, c-Rel mediates prosurvival effects of interleukin-1 beta. However, it is unknown whether activation of c-Rel-dependent pathways reduces neuron vulnerability to amyloid-beta (A beta), a peptide implicated in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. We show that neuroprotection elicited by activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors type 5 (mGlu5) against A beta toxicity depends on c-Rel activation. A beta peptide induced NF-kappa B factors p50 and p65. The mGlu5 agonists activated c-Rel, besides p50 and p65, and the expression of manganese superoxide dismutase ( MnSOD) and Bcl-X-L. Targeting c-Rel expression by RNA interference suppressed the induction of both antiapoptotic genes. Targeting c-Rel or Bcl-XL prevented the prosurvival effect of mGlu5 agonists. Conversely, c-Rel overexpression or TAT-Bcl-X-L addition rescued neurons from A beta toxicity. These data demonstrate that mGlu5 receptor activation promotes a c-Rel-dependent antiapoptotic pathway responsible for neuroprotection against A beta peptide.
