Activation of telomerase is crucial for cells to
gain immortality. In human cells, telomerase activity is tightly
regulated by the expression of its catalytic subunit, human telomerase
reverse transcriptase (hTERT). In most normal human somatic cells,
hTERT is not expressed, and its suppression acts as an important
gatekeeper against tumorigenesis. Here we describe the systematic
analyses of hTERT promoter to understand the transcriptional repression mechanism of the hTERT gene in normal human somatic cells. Through the
serial deletion analysis of hTERT promoter in normal human fibroblasts,
we identified a critical repressive element on the hTERT promoter. The
repressive element formed DNA-protein complexes with Sp1 and Sp3 in
nuclear extracts. Using formaldehyde cross-linked chromatin
immunoprecipitation analysis, we found that Sp1 and Sp3
were associated with the endogenously repressed hTERT promoter in human
fibroblasts. Furthermore, Sp1 and Sp3 interacted with histone
deacetylase (HDAC) in these cells. Overexpression of dominant-negative mutants of Sp1 and Sp3, which contained mainly the HDAC2-binding domain, relieved the HDAC-mediated repression of the hTERT promoter. Taken together, these results suggest that Sp1 and Sp3 associate with
the hTERT promoter, recruiting HDAC for the localized deacetylation of
nucleosomal histones and transcriptional silencing of the hTERT gene in
normal human somatic cells.
