Characterization of NF-κB and IKK activity in ALCL cells. (A) EMSA analysis of unstimulated cells. Nuclear extracts of unstimulated HRS and ALCL cell lines were analyzed for NF-κB DNA binding activity by EMSA. Positions of NF-κB and (p50)2 complexes are indicated. n.s. indicates nonspecific. (B) Induction of NF-κB p50-p65 activity in K299 ALCL cells. Nuclear extracts of unstimulated or TNF-α–treated K299 cells were analyzed with or without preincubation with the indicated antibodies for supershift (ss) analysis by EMSA for NF-κB DNA binding activity. Positions of NF-κB and (p50)2 complexes are indicated. n.s. indicates nonspecific. (C, D) Analysis of IKK activity in unstimulated or TNF-α–treated cell lines, as indicated. (C) IKK activity in unstimulated cells was determined by an in vitro kinase assay (KA). IKKα was immunoprecipitated using a monoclonal antibody against IKKα and protein A–sepharose. The precipitates were incubated with GST-IκBα (aa 1-53) and γ-[32P]ATP at 37°C and subsequently analyzed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. As control, IKKα expression was analyzed by Western blot. (D) Prior to IKK analysis, cells were treated for 15 minutes with TNF-α. Analysis of the IKK activity was as described in panel C. Note that in panel D the IKK activity between the different cell lines is not comparable.
