Expression of the IL-5 gene is restricted to the Th2 subset of helper T cells. We have previously defined four cis-regulatory elements of the IL-5 promoter responding to PMA and cAMP in EL-4 cells. We now report that the 1.2-kb region of the IL-5 promoter directs expression of the IL-5 gene in a Th2 clone but not a Th1 clone, indicating that transcription from the IL-5 promoter is Th2 specific. For the functioning of the IL-5 promoter in a Th2 clone, IL-5C and IL-5CLE0 were critical. IL-5CLE0 interacted with both constitutive and inducible nuclear factors (designated NFIL-5CLE0), which existed in both Th1 and Th2 clones, whereas IL-5C interacted with a constitutive nuclear factor (designated NFIL-5C), which was found only in Th2 but not in Th1 clones. Th2 specificity of NFIL-5C was also confirmed using in vitro-differentiated Th1 and Th2 cells derived from TCR-transgenic mice. The sequence for NFIL-5C binding bears homology with GATA-binding sites. The NFIL-5C complex was supershifted by an anti-GATA-3 Ab and inhibited by an oligonucleotide containing GATA-binding sites. We showed preferential expression of GATA-3 in Th2 cells. Finally, we demonstrated that in vitro-translated GATA-3 bound to IL-5C and overexpression of GATA-3 augmented stimulation-dependent IL-5 promoter activity in EL-4 cells. Taken together, our results provide evidence that GATA-related factors may be involved in Th2-specific expression of the IL-5 gene.
