摘要

We have cloned the promoter for the human third component of complement (C3) gene and have identified sequences involved in its regulation during the acute-phase response. A construct linking 199 bp of the C3 promoter to the firefly luciferase gene was found to be very responsive to interleukin-1 (IL-1) and modestly responsive to interleukin-6 (IL-6) by transfection analysis in the human hepatoma line Hep3B2. Simultaneous treatment with the two cytokines showed a strong synergy between the actions of the two molecules. A 58-bp fragment (-127 to -70 bp) was shown by 5' and 3' deletional mutagenesis to contain cis-acting elements that mediated both the IL-1 response and the IL-1-plus-IL-6 synergistic response of this promoter. When coupled to a heterologous promoter, this fragment enabled the synergistic induction by IL-1 plus IL-6. Sequences homologous to the palindrome ACATTGCACAATCT, which mediates the induction of the IL-6 gene by IL-1 (S. Akira, H. Isshiki, T. Sugita, O. Tanabe, S. Kinoshita, Y. Nishio, T. Nakajima, T. Hirano, and T. Kishimoto, EMBO J. 9:1897-1906, 1990), and the core sequence of the IL-6-responsive element of the rat alpha 2-macroglobulin gene (CTGGGA; M. Hattori, L. J. Abraham, W. Northemann, and G. H. Fey, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2364-2368, 1990) are contained within this fragment in immediate juxtaposition and partially overlapping. Site-directed mutagenesis within this homology region drastically reduced the inducibility of the C3 promoter by either cytokine. DNase I footprinting analysis defined a binding site for the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP), which included the IL-1-responsive element-like sequence. No differences were seen between the footprints generated by using extracts from unstimulated and IL-1-stimulated Hep3B2 cells. However, gel retardation analyses revealed two IL-1-specific bands. The data suggest that the induction by IL-1 is mediated by a factor belonging to the family of C/EBP-related proteins.

Kishimoto,EMBO J. 9:1897-1906,1990),以及大鼠α2-巨球蛋白基因的IL-6响应元件的核心序列(CTGGGA; M。Hattori,LJ亚伯拉罕) ,W.Northemann,和GHFey,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 87:2364-2368,1990)以立即并置和部分重叠的方式包含在该片段内。在该同源区域内的定点诱变极大地降低了任一细胞因子对C3启动子的诱导性。 DNase I足迹分析定义了转录因子CCAAT /增强子结合蛋白(C / EBP)的结合位点,其中包括IL-1反应元件样序列。使用未刺激和IL-1刺激的Hep3B2细胞提取物产生的足迹之间没有差异。然而,凝胶阻滞分析揭示了两个IL-1特异性条带。数据表明,IL-1的诱导是由属于C / EBP相关蛋白家族的因子介导的。
