Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is an
etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). The viral protein Tax
induces the activation and nuclear translocalization of transcription factor NF- B, which is proposed to play a crucial role in the transformation of T cells by HTLV-I. However, the HTLV-I genes including Tax are not expressed significantly in primary leukemic cells
from ATL patients. In this study, we examined the basis for NF- B
activation in freshly isolated leukemic cells from ATL patients. We
found that leukemic cells from ATL patients, like HTLV-I-infected
T-cell lines, display constitutive NF- B DNA binding activity and
increased degradation of I B (an inhibitor of NF- B). Whereas
the NF- B binding activity in Tax-expressing T-cell lines consisted
mostly of p50/c-Rel, fresh ATL samples contained p50/p50 and p50/p65
heterodimers. One T-cell line derived from ATL leukemic cells, TL-Om1,
displayed constitutive NF- B activity, as well as enhanced
degradation of I B , despite the lack of detectable Tax expression.
Interestingly, the NF- B in TL-Om1 consists of p50/p50 and p50/p65
like that in fresh primary leukemic cells. Our results suggest that
activation of NF- B occurs through a Tax-independent mechanism in
leukemic cells of ATL patients, possibly due to differential NF- B
subunit activation.
