Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16 INK4a is implicated in replicative senescence, cell immortalization and tumor generation. However the mechanism regulating its over-expression in senescent cells is unknown. We used the EGFP reporter system to scan regulatory elements in the upstream region of p16 INK4a . The results of 5¡¦-deletion studies indicated that the transcription regulatory elements contributing to overexpression of p16 INK4a in senescent cells were located in the region of the p16 INK4a promoter from ¡V622bp to ¡V280bp. According to the results of in vitro DNase I footprinting, EMSA, and Southwestern blotting, we found a novel negative regulatory element, ITSE (INK4a transcription silence element), at ¡V491 to ¡V485bp of the p16 INK4a promoter. A 24kDa protein that was highly expressed in young cells may inhibit the expression of p16 INK4a by interacting with ITSE. A GC-abundant element located in the region from ¡V466 to ¡V451bp was also involved with high expression of p16 in senescent fibroblasts.
