Molecular Mechanisms of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expression by IL-1ß and cAMP in Rat Mesangial Cells1

Expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene in rat mesangial cells is differentially triggered by IL-1ß and cAMP predominantly at the transcriptional level. The 5'-flanking region of the rat iNOS gene contains several binding sites for transcription factors potentially involved in cytokine and cAMP signaling such as nuclear factor-{kappa}B/Rel, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP), and cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein/ATF. We tested promoter activities of serial and site-directed deletion mutants of iNOS-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter genes after transient transfection and stimulation of mesangial cells. A region between bp -277 and -111 bearing a CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-response element was found to be critical for cAMP-mediated gene induction but dispensable for IL-1ß inducibility. Moreover, a minimal promoter ranging from the transcriptional start site up to -111 containing a {kappa}B site is sufficient to confer IL-1ß-mediated iNOS promoter activation. Consistent with these findings, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay shows the appearance of an IL-1ß-inducible nuclear factor-{kappa}B p50/p65 heterodimeric complex. Using probes containing C/EBP-binding sites from the iNOS gene revealed further binding of different complexes, all of which were strongly inducible by cAMP and to a lower extent also by IL-1ß. Abs against cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein, C/EBPß, and C/EBP{delta} were able to partially supershift single complexes, suggesting the participation of these transcription factors in the regulation of iNOS gene expression by cAMP and IL-1ß. Finally, we show that both cAMP and IL-1ß strongly induce steady-state levels of C/EBPß and C/EBP{delta} mRNA levels. These data demonstrate that IL-1ß and cAMP use distinct as well as partially overlapping sets of transcriptional activators to modulate iNOS gene expression in rat mesangial cells.
