STAT6 Mediates Eotaxin-1 Expression in IL-4 or TNF-{alpha}-Induced Fibroblasts

Jutta Hoeck and Maximilian Woisetschläger1

Department of Allergic Diseases, Novartis Research Institute, Vienna, Austria

Eosinophils are attracted to sites of allergic inflammation by a number of chemoattractants including eotaxin-1. This chemokine can be secreted from epithelial cells and fibroblasts after IL-4 and TNF-{alpha} stimulation in a synergistic fashion. TNF-{alpha} activated gene expression at the transcriptional level in a STAT6-dependent manner, because: 1) eotaxin-1 promoter luciferase constructs were TNF-{alpha} inducible in STAT6-defective HEK293 cells only on cotransfection of STAT6 expression vector, an effect that was partially mediated by activation-induced binding of NF-{kappa}B proteins to a composite STAT6/NF-{kappa}B element; 2) reporter constructs defective in STAT6 DNA binding did not respond to TNF-{alpha} stimulation; 3) eotaxin-1 protein secretion was detected only in STAT6-transfected HEK293 cell supernatants on TNF-{alpha} treatment; and 4) a trans-dominant negative STAT6 protein inhibited TNF-{alpha}-induced eotaxin-1 secretion in primary fibroblasts. TNF-{alpha} inducibility of the IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 genes was not dependent on STAT6 expression in the same experimental systems. The inducing effect of IL-4 and IL-13 was also mediated by STAT6. The synergistic effect of IL-4 and TNF-{alpha} observed at the RNA and the protein level was not seen at the promoter level. The data demonstrate that both IL-4 and TNF-{alpha} induce eotaxin-1 expression at the level of transcription via a STAT6-mediated pathway.
