The interaction of transcription factors is critical in the
regulation of gene expression. This study characterized the mechanism
by which NF-
B family members interact to regulate the human TNF-
gene. A 120-bp TNF-
promoter-reporter, possessing binding sites for
NF-
B (
B3), C/EBPß (CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ß), and
c-Jun, was activated by cotransfection of plasmids expressing the
wild-type version of each of these transcription factors. Employing
adenoviral vectors, dominant-negative versions of NF-
B p65, and
c-Jun, but not C/EBPß, suppressed (p <
0.050.001) LPS-induced TNF-
secretion in primary human
macrophages. Following LPS stimulation, NF-
B p50/p65 heterodimers
bound to the
B3 site and c-Jun to the -103 AP-1 site of the TNF-
promoter. By transient transfection, NF-
B p65 and p50
synergistically activated the TNF-
promoter. In contrast, no synergy
was observed between NF-
B p65, with or without NF-
B p50, and
c-Jun or C/EBPß, even in the presence of the coactivator p300. The
contribution of the upstream
B binding sites was also examined.
Following LPS stimulation, the
B1 site bound both NF-
B p50/p65
heterodimers and p50 homodimers. The binding by NF-
B p50 homodimers
to the
B1, but not to the
B3, site contributed to the inability
of macrophages to respond to a second LPS challenge. In summary,
adjacent
B3 and AP-1 sites in the human TNF-
promoter contribute
independently to LPS-induced activation. Although both the
B1 and
B3 sites bound transcriptionally active NF-
B p50/p65
heterodimers, only the
B1 site contributed to down-regulation by
NF-
B p50 homodimers.
