Previously, we demonstrated that protein kinase D (PKD) plays a protective role during H{sub 2}O{sub 2}-induced intestinal cell death. Here, we sought to determine whether this effect is mediated by nuclear factor-{kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Treatment with H{sub 2}O{sub 2} activated NF-{kappa}B in RIE-1 cells; H{sub 2}O{sub 2} also induced the translocation of NF-{kappa}B p65 as well as phosphorylation of I{kappa}B-{alpha}. PKD1 siRNA inhibited H{sub 2}O{sub 2}-induced activation, translocation of NF-{kappa}B, and phosphorylation of I{kappa}B-{alpha}. We also found that overexpression of wild type PKD1 attenuated H{sub 2}O{sub 2}-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and its upstream activator, MAPK kinase (MKK) 3/6, whereas the phosphorylation was increased by PKD1 siRNA or kinase-dead PKD1. Phosphorylation of neither extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2 nor c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) was altered by PKD1 plasmids or siRNA. Our findings suggest that PKD protects intestinal cells through up-regulation of NF-{kappa}B and down-regulation of p38 MAPK.
