Identification of a tumor necrosis factor-responsive element in the tumor necrosis factor alpha gene

The regulation by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) of its own promoter has been investigated by transient transfection and nuclear protein binding assays. In human K652 erythroleukemia cells TNF produced an 8- 10-fold activation of the human TNF promoter linked to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene. The TNF-responsive element was localized to the -125 to -82 region by examining the TNF activation in 5'-deletion or site-directed mutants of the TNF promoter and by demonstrating that the -125 to -82 fragment confers TNF responsiveness to the thymidine kinase promoter. This region contains a palindrome, 5' TGAGCTCA 3', that resembles the consensus binding sequences for the transcription factors, activator protein-1 (AP-1), cyclic AMP- responsive element binding protein (CREB), and activation transcription factor (ATF). An internal deletion in the palindrome abolished the TNF responsiveness, whereas known AP-1 and CREB/ATF elements were unresponsive to TNF. In band shift analyses a nuclear factor from U937 cells specifically bound to the -125 to -82 TNF-responsive fragment in or near the palindromic sequence. Oligonucleotides containing AP-1 or CREB/ATF sites did not effectively compete for the binding, indicating that the U937 cell factor is different from these factors. Anti-c-fos antiserum did not affect binding of the U937 cell factor, whereas anti- c-jun antiserum did block its binding, indicating that either c-jun or a protein antigenically related to c-jun is a component of the factor. These results suggest that the TNF-responsive element is not activated by AP-1 or CREB in U937 cells and that a novel DNA binding factor is important for constitutive and inducible TNF gene expression.
