IL-18 is a multifunctional cytokine playing various regulatory roles in the immune system including induced cytokine production. As a part of our ongoing studies on the molecular mechanisms of IL-18-induced IFN-{gamma} production, we have examined the transcriptional regulation of the IFN-{gamma} gene by IL-18 in a human myelomonocytic cell line, KG-1. On the basis of DNA/protein binding, we have determined an IL-18-inducible NF-{kappa}B binding site located at -786 to -776 of the IFN-{gamma} gene regulatory region (designated KBBsite). Transient transfection of promoter-reporter gene constructs revealed that the KBBsite is required for full IL-18-induced activation of the IFN-{gamma} gene transcription induced by IL-18. In addition, stable transformants of a dominant-negative form of the I{kappa}B{alpha} showed an inhibition of IL-18-dependent I{kappa}B{alpha} degradation, NF-{kappa}B activation, and expression of IFN-{gamma}. These results are the first to show the actual significance of the NF-{kappa}B pathway in the regulation of IFN-{gamma} gene expression by IL-18.
