Abstract

The molecular mechanism of Profilin for its tumour suppressor activity is still unknown. NF-κB is known to activate many target genes involved in cell proliferation. In this study, we provide evidences that support the involvement of Profilin in regulation of NF-κB, which might repress the tumourigenic response. Profilin overexpressing cells show low basal activity of IKK, high amount of cytoplasmic IκBα and p65, and low nuclear NF-κB DNA binding activity. Co-localisation and co-immunoprecipitation studies suggest that Profilin interacts with a protein phosphatase, PTEN and protects it from degradation. In turn, PTEN interacts physically and maintains low phosphorylated state of IKK complex and thereby suppresses NF-κB signalling. Thus, Profilin-overexpressing cells show decrease in NF-κB activation mediated by most of the inducers and potentiate cell death by repressing NF-κB-dependent genes involved in cell cycle progression. For the first time, we provide evidences, which suggest that Profilin increases tumour suppressor activity by regulating NF-κB.
