| Abstract | A coordinated cellular response to oxidative stress occurs in part through transcriptional regulation via a cis-acting sequence known as the antioxidant response element (ARE). NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a member of the Cap'n'Collar family of basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors, has been implicated as an essential component of an ARE-binding transcriptional complex, but the signaling pathway leading to its activation has remained unclear. Using a reporter gene assay, we found that ARE-directed transcription was activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), but completely suppressed by staurosporine and Ro-32–0432, selective inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC). Immunocytochemistry and subcellular fractionation revealed that PMA, like tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ), promoted the nuclear localization of Nrf2, a process that was blocked by staurosporine or Ro-32–0432. We showed that Nrf2, a previously unidentified kinase target, was phosphorylated in HepG2 cells. PMA transiently activated Nrf2 phosphorylation, whereas the addition of tBHQ or β-naphthoflavone (βNF) led to a persistent stimulation, which was abolished by staurosporine, but not by U0126 and SB203580, respective inhibitors of MEK and p38 kinases. Purified Nrf2 was phosphorylated in vitro by the catalytic subunit of PKC, or by PKC immunoprecipitated from cell lysates. Significantly, PKC precipitated from tBHQ- or βNF-treated cells showed enhanced activity against Nrf2. These findings indicate an important role of the PKC pathway in the ARE-mediated gene expression, and suggest that PKC-directed phosphorylation of Nrf2 may be a critical event for the nuclear translocation of this transcription factor in response to oxidative stress. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
