sub:_4 prov:value "Apolipoprotein J/clusterin is an enigmatic protein highly regulated in inflammation, apoptosis, and cancer. Despite extensive studies, its biological function has remained obscure. Here we show that apolipoprotein J inhibits neuroblastoma cell invasion. Since this function can be regulated by NF-kappaB, we explored the possibility that apolipoprotein J might interfere with NF-kappaB signaling. Ectopic apolipoprotein J expression strongly inhibited NF-kappaB activity in human neuroblastoma cells and murine embryonic fibroblasts by stabilizing inhibitors of NF-kappaB (IkappaBs). Steady state levels of IkappaB proteins are drastically reduced in mouse embryo fibroblasts after disruption of the apolipoprotein J gene. Absence of apolipoprotein J causes reduction of IkappaB stability, a tumor necrosis factor-dependent increase in NF-kappaB activity, increased transcription of the NF-kappaB target gene c-IAP and down-modulation of p53 protein. These results suggest that an unexpected physiological role of apolipoprotein J is to inhibit NF-kappaB signaling through stabilization of IkappaBs and that this activity may result in suppression of tumor cell motility." ;
