Abstract

The compartmentalized production of superoxide (*O(2)(-)) by endosomal NADPH oxidase is important in the redox-dependent activation of NF-kappaB following interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) stimulation. It remains unclear how *O(2)(-) produced within endosomes facilitates redox-dependent signaling events in the cytoplasm. We evaluated *O(2)(-) movement out of IL-1beta-stimulated endosomes and whether SOD1 at the endosomal surface mediates redox-signaling events required for NF-kappaB activation. The relative outward permeability of NADPH-dependent *O(2)(-) from fractionated endosomes was assessed using membrane-permeable (luminol and lucigenin) and -impermeable (isoluminol) luminescent probes for *O(2)(-). In these studies, approximately 60% of *O(2)(-) efflux out of endosomes was inhibited by treatment with either of two anion channel blockers, 4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene (DIDS) or niflumic acid (NFA). Furthermore, radioisotopic electrodiffusion flux assays on endomembrane proteoliposomes suggested that *O(2)(-) and Cl(-) are transported through the same DIDS-sensitive channel(s). Rab5-based immunoaffinity isolation of IL-1beta-stimulated early endosomes demonstrated SOD1 recruitment to endosomes harboring the IL-1 receptor. Finally, SOD1-deficient cells were found to be defective in their ability to activate NF-kappaB following IL-1beta stimulation. Together, these results suggest that *O(2)(-) exits endosomes through a DIDS-sensitive chloride channel(s) and that SOD1-mediated dismutation of *O(2)(-) at the endosomal surface may produce the localized H(2)O(2) required for redox-activation of NF-kappaB.
