Tumor necrosis factor- (TNF ) is
a pivotal early mediator of host defenses that is essential for
survival in infections. We previously reported that exposing
macrophages to febrile range temperatures (FRT) (38.5-40 °C)
markedly attenuates TNF expression by causing abrupt and premature
cessation of transcription. We showed that this inhibitory effect of
FRT is mediated by an alternatively activated repressor form of heat
shock factor 1 (HSF-1) and that a fragment of the TNF
gene comprising a minimal 85-nucleotide (nt) proximal promoter and the
138-nt 5'-untranslated region (UTR) was sufficient for mediating this
effect. In the present study we have used an electrophoretic mobility
shift assay (EMSA) to identify a high affinity binding site for HSF-1
in the 5'-UTR of the TNF gene and have used a chromosome
immunoprecipitation assay to show that HSF-1 binds to this region of
the endogenous TNF gene. Mutational inactivation of this
site blocks the inhibitory effect of overexpressed HSF-1 on activity of
the minimal TNF promoter ( 85/+138) in Raw 264.7 murine
macrophages, identifying this site as an HSF-1-dependent
repressor. However, the same mutation fails to block repression of a
full-length ( 1080/+138) TNF promoter construct by
HSF-1 overexpression, and HSF-1 binds to upstream sequences in the
regions 1080/ 845, 533/ 196, and 326/ 39 nt in EMSA,
suggesting that additional HSF-1-dependent repressor elements are present upstream of the minimal 85-nt promoter. Furthermore, although mutation of the HSF-1 binding site in the minimal
TNF promoter construct abrogates HSF-1-mediated
repression, the same mutation fails to abrogate repression of this
construct by high levels of HSF-1 overexpression or exposure to
39.5 °C. This suggests that HSF-1 might repress TNF transcription
through redundant mechanisms, some of which might not require high
affinity binding of HSF-1.
