Interleukin (IL)-6 plays an important role in a
wide range of biological activities, including differentiation of
murine M1 myeloid leukemic cells into mature macrophages. At the onset
of M1 differentiation, a set of myeloid differentiation primary
response (MyD) genes are induced, including the proto-oncogene for
JunB. In order to examine the molecular nature of the mechanisms by which IL-6 activates the immediate early expression of MyD genes, JunB
was used as a paradigm. A novel IL-6 response element, 65/ 52 IL-6RE, to which a 100-kDa protein complex is bound, has been identified on the JunB promoter. Leukemia inhibitory factor
(LIF)-induced activation of JunB in M1 cells was also mediated via the
65/ 52 IL-6RE. The STAT3 and CRE-like binding sites of the JunB
promoter, identified as IL-6-responsive elements in HepG2 liver cells
were found, however, to play no role in JunB inducibility by IL-6 in M1
myeloid cells. Conversely, the 65/ 52 IL-6RE is shown not to be
necessary for JunB inducibility by IL-6 or LIF in liver cells. It
appears, therefore, that immediate early activation of JunB is
regulated differently in M1 myeloid cells than in HepG2 liver cells.
This indicates that distinct cis-acting control elements participate in
cell type-specific induction of JunB by members of the IL-6 cytokine superfamily.
