Vasoactive intestinal peptide and its
G-protein-coupled receptors, VPAC-1 and VPAC-2, are highly expressed in
the immune system and modulate diverse T cell functions. The human
VPAC-1 5'-flanking region (1.4 kb) contains four high affinity Ikaros
(IK) consensus sequences. Ikaros native protein from T cell nuclear
extracts and IK-1 and IK-2 recombinant proteins recognized an IK high
affinity binding motif in the VPAC-1 promoter in electrophoretic
mobility shift assays by a sequence-specific mechanism, and anti-IK
antibodies supershifted this complex. Stable NIH-3T3 clones
overexpressing IK-1 or IK-2 isoforms were generated to investigate
Ikaros regulation of endogenous VPAC-1 expression as assessed by
quantifying VPAC-1 mRNA and protein. By traditional and
fluorometric-based kinetic reverse transcription-PCR and
125I-labeled vasoactive intestinal peptide binding,
both IK-1 and IK-2 suppressed endogenous VPAC-1 expression in NIH-3T3
clones by a range of 50-93%. When a series of nested deletions of the VPAC-1 luciferase reporter construct were transiently transfected into
IK-2 clones there was up to a 41% decrease in transcriptional activity
compared with vector control. Two major IK-2 binding domains also were
identified at
1076 to
623 bp and at
222 to
35 bp,
respectively. As both Ikaros and its novel target VPAC-1 are highly expressed in T cells, this system may be a dominant determinant of the VPAC-1 expression in immune responses.
