(TGF-
) signals by
acting downstream of TGF-
receptors. TGF-
rapidly induces
expression of Smad7 mRNA in a variety of cell types, suggesting
participation in a negative feedback loop to control TGF-
responses.
We have previously described the genomic locus of rat Smad7 including
the promoter region. Here we report polymerase chain reaction cloning
of the corresponding promoter regions of human and murine Smad7 genes and functional characterization of the rat Smad7 promoter. Using transient transfection experiments of HepG2 cells, we identified the
TGF-
response element within a strongly conserved region, containing
a perfect Smad binding element (SBE; GTCTAGAC). Performing electrophoretic mobility shift assay and cotransfection experiments, we
were able to delineate DNA-binding complexes and identified Smad3,
Smad4, and Smad2. Mutation of the SBE completely abolished TGF-
inducibility of Smad7 in HepG2 cells, indicating that this sequence is
necessary for TGF-
-induced transcription. Furthermore, a 3-base pair
adjacent E-box is additionally essential for
TGF-
-dependent promoter activation and an overlapping
AP1 site is also involved. We conclude that regulation of Smad7
transcription by TGF-
is mediated via a specific constellation of
recognition motifs localized around the SBE, which is conserved in
human, rat, and murine genes.
