Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is required for EBV B-lymphocyte transformation, transforms rodent fibroblasts, and can induce lymphoma and epithelial hyperplasia in transgenic mice. Two domains have been identified within the intracellular carboxy terminus that can activate NF-kappa B, C-terminus-activating region 1 (CTAR1) and CTAR2, through interactions with tumor necrosis receptor-associated factors (TRAFs). CTAR1 can activate both the canonical and noncanonical NF-kappa B pathways and has unique effects on cellular gene expression. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is highly induced by LMP1-CTAR1 in epithelial cells through activation of a novel NF-kappa B form containing p50 homodimers and Bcl-3. To further understand the regulation of NF-kappa B in CTAR1-induced EGFR expression, we evaluated the ability of CTAR1 to induce EGFR in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) defective for different NF-kappa B effectors. CTAR1-mediated EGFR induction required the NF-kappa B-inducing kinase (NIK) but not the I kappa B kinase (IKK) complex components that regulate canonical or noncanonical NF-kappa B pathways. CTAR1-mediated induction of nuclear p50 occurred in IKK beta-, IKK gamma-, and NIK-defective MEFs, indicating that this induction is not dependent on the canonical or noncanonical NF-kappa B pathways. EGFR and nuclear p50 were expressed at high levels in TRAF2(-/-) fibroblasts and were not induced by CTAR1. In TRAF3(-/-) MEFs, CTAR1 induced nuclear p50 but did not affect basal levels of STAT3 serine phosphorylation or induce EGFR expression. EGFR was induced by LMP1 in TRAF6(-/-) MEFs. These findings suggest that this novel NF-kappa B pathway is differentially regulated by TRAF2 and TRAF3, and that distinct interactions of LMP1 and its effectors regulate LMP1-mediated gene expression.
