Complex formation of the interferon (IFN) consensus sequence-binding protein with IRF-1 is essential for murine macrophage IFN-gamma-induced iNOS gene expression
Abstract
This study describes the role of the interferon (IFN) consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP or IRF-8) in iNOS gene expression by murine macrophages. An ICSBP binding site in the iNOS promoter region (-923 to -913) was identified using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay and chromatin co-immunoprecipitation. Overexpression of ICSBP greatly enhanced IFN-gamma-induced iNOS promoter activation in RAW264.7 cells, and IFN-gamma-induced iNOS promoter activation was abolished in ICSBP-/- macrophages. Furthermore, transduction of retrovirus-ICSBP in ICSBP-/- macrophages rescued IFN-gamma-induced iNOS gene expression. However, transduction of retrovirus-ICSBP in the absence of IFN-gamma activation did not induce iNOS expression in either RAW264.7 cells or ICSBP-/- macrophages. Interestingly, ICSBP alone transduced into ICSBP-/- macrophages did not bind to IFN-stimulated response element site (-923 to -913) of the iNOS promoter region, although following activation with IFN-gamma, a DNA.protein complex was formed that contains ICSBP and IRF-1. Co-transduction of ICSBP with IRF-1 clearly induces nitric oxide production. In addition, interleukin-4 inhibits IFN-gamma-induced iNOS gene expression by attenuating the physical interaction of ICSBP with IRF-1. Complex formation of ICSBP with IRF-1 is essential for iNOS expression, and interleukin-4 attenuates the physical interaction of ICSBP with IRF-1 resulting in the inhibition of INOS gene expression.
