Lipid peroxidation plays a major role in vascular dysfunction and age-related cardiovascular diseases. A major product of lipid peroxidation, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP), has been reported to modulate vascular reactivity and cellular signaling. To better understand vascular abnormality, we set out to delineate the activation mechanism of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) by t-BHP and the regulation of MAPK in endothelial cells. The results showed that t-BHP induces NF-kappaB activation by an inhibitor of kappaB (IkappaB) phosphorylation through IkappaB kinase (IKK) activation. Our data from this t-BHP study also showed increased p38 MAP kinase and ERK activity; however, interestingly, t-BHP showed no influence on JNK. Pretreatment with the p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, SB203580 and the ERK1/2 inhibitor, PD98059, prevented t-BHP-induced increases in p65 translocation, NF-kappaB luciferase activity, and phospho-IKKalpha/beta. Data suggested that t-BHP induces NF-kappaB activation through the IKK pathway, which involves p38 MAPK and ERK activation. This study illustrates a role of t-BHP in NF-kappaB activation and MAPK related-signaling pathways. The t-BHP-induced activation of NF-kappaB and MAPK could be a major player in vascular dysfunctions, as seen in oxidative stressed responses and the vascular inflammatory process.
