The effects of TNF are mediated by two receptors, TNF-R1 and TNF-R2. The major signal transduction pathways triggered by TNF include those that lead to apoptosis, activation of transcription factor NF-κ B and protein kinase JNK. This review will discuss the molecular mechanisms of these signaling pathways. Keywords: tumor necrosis factor, signal transduction, JNK kinase, NF-κB, apoptosis. In 1975, Carswell et al. discovered that bcg vaccinated mouse, after injection with lipopolysacricharide, produced a substance in its serum that could cause necrosis of tumors. This substance was named tumor necrosis factor (TNF) [1]. Shalaby et al. called the TNF produced by phagocytes TNF-α, and that produced by T cells TNF-β [2].TNF-α and TNF-β signal through the same cellular membrane receptors and function similarly. This review will focus on signaling by TNF-α, which we will refer as TNF. 1 Biological characteristics of TNF TNF is produced mainly by activated macrophages and monocytes, but also by many other cell types including T cells, B cells, NK cells and LAK cells, at lower levels. TNF is primarily expressed as a 26 ku type II transmembrane precursor. Its N-terminus extends to the extracellular space and C-terminus resides in the cytoplasm. The extracellular domain of the TNF precursor can be cleaved by metalloproteinases to form a 17 ku soluble cytokine [2]. Mature soluble TNF, probably its transmembrane precursor, exists as a trimer [3]. TNF signaling leads to multiple effects, including apoptosis, inflammation, and septic shock. 2 Biological characteristics of TNF receptors The wide range of TNF activities is mediated by TNF-R1 and TNF-R2, with molecular masses of 55 ku and 75 ku, Kd values of 500 pmol/l and 100 pmol/l respectively [4]. Both receptors are type I transmembrane proteins with their C-terminuses in the cytoplasm and N-terminuses extending to the extracellular space. TNF-R1 is expressed in a wide range of cell types, while TNF-R2 is mostly expressed in
2 114 SCIENCE IN CHINA (Series C) Vol. 45 immune cells [3,4]. The expression of the two receptors can be upregulated by TNF, IL-1, phorbol diesters, and camp. TNF-R1 and TNF-R2 share about 30% homology in their extracellular domains. However, their intracellular domains are unrelated. The extracellular domains of TNF-R1 and TNF-R2 contain four conserved cysteine-rich repeats which are involved in optimal TNF-binding. Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the two TNF receptors. Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the two TNF receptors. 3 Signal transduction by TNF receptors The divergence of the intracellular domains of the two TNF receptors suggests that they have distinct signaling and functional properties. While both receptors can activate NF-κB and JNK, in most cases, only TNF-R1 can induce apoptosis. 3.1 TNF-R2 signaling complex Although the expression and effects of TNF-R2 are mainly limited to immune cells, the breakthrough of TNF signaling came from deciphering the TNF-R2 signaling complex. In 1994, Rothe et al. employed a biochemical method to purify TNF-R2 signaling complex and this effort identified four proteins, including TRAF1 (TNF-receptor-associated factor 1), TRAF2, ciap1 (cell inhibitor of apoptosis) and ciap2 [5, 6]. Wang et al. demonstrated that ciap1 and ciap2 are able to inhibit apoptosis induced by TNF by inhibiting Caspase-8 activation [7]. Rothe et al. discovered that TRAF2 is necessary for TNF-R2-mediated NF-κB activation. Overexpression of TRAF2 can activate NF-κB, while a deletion mutant of TRAF2 lacking N-terminal 86 amino acids can inhibit TNF-R2-mediated NF-κB activation [8]. It has also been suggested that TRAF2 is essential for TNF-R2-mediated JNK activation [9]. These studies suggest that TRAF2 is an important downstream molecule of TNF-R2.
3 No. 2 MOLECULAR MECHANISM OF SIGNALING BY TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR TNF-R1 signaling complex The molecular mechanisms of TNF-R1 signaling have been mostly understood in recent years. Binding of TNF to TNF-R1 induces trimmerization of TNF-R1, and this triggers the recruitment of downstream molecules, including TRADD, FADD, TRAF2 and RIP, to the TNF-R1 signaling complex. It has been suggested that a cytoplasmic protein, SODD, is associated with the intracellular domain of TNF-R1 and prevents TNF-R1 auto-aggregation. Upon TNF stimulation, SODD is dissociated with TNF-R1 [10] and this enables the recruitment of the adaptor protein TRADD to TNF-R1 [11]. It has been demonstrated that the interaction between TRADD and TNF-R1 is TNF dependent [12, 13]. TRADD functions as an adapter to recruit FADD through their death domains. FADD in turn recruits caspase-8 (also called FLICE/MACH) which subsequently activates an apoptotic cascade and leads to apoptosis [14ü17]. TRADD can also recruit TRAF2 and RIP, and these interactions lead to NF-κB and JNK activation. 3.3 Downstream signaling pathways JNK activation pathways. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, which are conserved in the eukerocytes, play important roles in cell migration, division, differentiation, apoptosis and survival. TNF employs these MAPK activation cascades to activate JNK [18]. The MAPK cascades consist of three types of kinases. The first type is MAPKKK, which contains five kinase families: MEKK (MEKK1, 2, 3, 4), MLK (MLK1, 2, 3, DLK, LZK), ASK (ASK1, 2), TAK1 and TPL2 [19]. The second type is MAPKK, which contains several members, among them, MKK4/SEK1 [19] and MKK7 can activate JNK. The third type is MAPK, which contains P38, ERK, and JNK. Under physiological condition, TRAF2 is associated with two proteins I-TRAF and c-iap1. Upon TNF stimulation, TRAF2-cIAP1 is recruited to TNF-R1 complex through TRADD-TRAF2 interaction, while I-TRAF is dissociated with TRAF2 [13,20]. Yeh et al. performed knock-out study of TRAF2 in mice and found that TNF-triggered JNK activation is completely lost in traf2 -/- mice. This study demonstrated that TRAF2 is indispensable in JNK activation [21], however, TNF-triggered NF-κB activation was only slightly reduced in traf2 -/- cells. Recruitment of TRAF2 to the TNF-R1 complex causes activation of JNK through a MEKK1-MKK4 dependent pathway [22ü24]. It has also been suggested that GCKR (germinal center kinase related) [25] and ASK1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) [26] may be also involved in TRAF2-mediated JNK activation NF-κB activation pathway. NF-κB (nuclear factor kapper B) was first discovered as a nuclear factor binding to the enhancer sequence GGGACTTTCC of the immunoglobulin light chain in lymph cells [27]. It was then found to be expressed in all mammalian cells. NF-κB exists as a heterodimer, mostly P50/RelA. NF-κB regulates a variety of target genes involved in inflamma-
4 116 SCIENCE IN CHINA (Series C) Vol. 45 tion, immune response and protection of cells from apoptosis [28ü30]. In most cell types, NF-κB is sequestered in cytoplasm through interaction with one of its inhibitory proteins called IκBs. In response to TNF and other stimulation, IκBs undergo rapid phosphorylation at two conserved N-terminal serine residues, which targets them for polyubiquitination followed by degradation through the 26s proteasome. This results in release of NF-κB, which then translocates to the nucleus to activate transcription of its downstream genes [28]. The kinase that phosphorylates IκB isiκb Kinase (IKK), which consists of three subunits: IκBα (IKK1, CHUK, 85kD) [31,32],IκBβ (IKK2, 87kD) [33,34] and IκBγ (NEMO, 48kD) [35,36].IKKα and IKKβ are catalytic subunits, while IKKγ is a regulatory subunit. IKKα and IKKβ, once activated, can directly phosphorylate Ser32 and Ser36 of IκBα or Ser19 or Ser 23 of IκBβ [37].IKKα and IKKβ have distinct effects: IKKα has a higher efficiency to phosphorylate Ser23 than Ser19 of IκBα, while IKKβ has an equal efficiency [34]. Gene knock-out experiments suggest that IKKβ is essential for proper activation of NF-κB in response to proinflammatory stimuli and prevention of TNF-induced apoptosis, while IKKα is dispensable for this process [38,39]. How TRAF2 and RIP, when recruited to TNF-R1, activate IKK is controversial. One possibility is that an MAPKKK kinase, NIK, may link TRAF2/RIP to downstream IKK [40]. However, gene knockout experiments indicated that NIK is not required for TNF-R1-mediated NF-κB activation [41]. The second possibility is that RIP can activate two atypical forms of PKC ξpkc or λ/ιpkc, which then activate IKKβ [42]. The third possibility is a direct interaction between RIP and IKKγ [43,44]. Finally, it has recently been proposed that MEKK3 is essential for RIP-mediated IKK activation [45] Apoptosis signaling pathway. Upon TNF stimulation, TRADD can also recruit FADD to the TNF-R1 signaling complex through interaction of their respective death domains [15]. FADD, in turn, recruits caspase-8 (originally called FLICE/MACH) [16,17]. Once caspase-8 is recruited to TNF-R1 signaling complex, it is activated by induced proximity. The activated caspase-8 then activates a downstream caspase cascade leading to apoptosis [46]. 3.4 Feedback regulatory mechanisms in TNF signaling Down-regulation of membrane-bound TNF-receptors. In most cell types, binding of TNF to TNF-R1 not only activates downstream signaling cascades but also causes the TNF-TNF-R1 complex to be pinocytosised in a clathrin dependent manner. The pinocytosomes are then fused with lysosomes and the TNF-TNF-R1 complex is hydrolyzed. This process causes the decrease of signaling time of activated TNF-R1 [47]. Binding of TNF to TNF-R2 leads to shedding of the extracellular domain of TNF-R2, which is released to blood to neutralize TNF [47, 48] Regeneration of IκB. After IκB is polyubiquitinized and degraded, NF-κB is released into nucleus to promote target genes transcription. Interestingly, IκB is one of the first genes tran-

A20 is zinc finger protein transcriptionally induced by TNF and NF-κB activation [49]. A20 can interact with multiple signaling proteins in NF-κB activation pathways and inhibit NF-κB activation mediated by these signaling proteins [50]. 4 Conclusion In the last decade, considerable progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of TNF signaling. Fig. 2 is a schematic model of TNF-R1 signaling pathways. Fig. 2. A schematic model of TNF signal pathway. Although the model of TNF-R1 signaling has become a paradigm on how all other TNF receptor family members signal, some details on TNF-R1 signaling still need to be elucidated. For example, TNF-R1 can simultaneously trigger apoptotic and anti-apoptotic NF-κB activation pathways. However, we do not know how the fate of TNF-stimulated cells (live or die) is determined. It is also controversial on how IKK is activated by the TRAF2 and RIP. Experiments with untransfected cells, especially gene knock-out studies, will certainly help to resolve the unknown details of TNF signaling.
