Abstract | We have shown that interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-2 control IL-2 receptor α (IL-2Rα) gene transcription in CD4GraphicCD8Graphic murine T lymphocyte precursors. Here we map the cis-acting elements that mediate interleukin responsiveness of the mouse IL-2Rα gene using a thymic lymphoma-derived hybridoma (PC60). The transcriptional response of the IL-2Rα gene to stimulation by IL-1 + IL-2 is biphasic. IL-1 induces a rapid, protein synthesis-independent appearance of IL-2Rα mRNA that is blocked by inhibitors of NF-κB activation. It also primes cells to become IL-2 responsive and thereby prepares the second phase, in which IL-2 induces a 100-fold further increase in IL-2Rα transcripts. Transient transfection experiments show that several elements in the promoter-proximal region of the IL-2Rα gene contribute to IL-1 responsiveness, most importantly an NF-κB site conserved in the human and mouse gene. IL-2 responsiveness, on the other hand, depends on a 78-nucleotide segment 1.3 kilobases upstream of the major transcription start site. This segment functions as an IL-2-inducible enhancer and lies within a region that becomes DNase I hypersensitive in normal T cells in which IL-2Rα expression has been induced. IL-2 responsiveness requires three distinct elements within the enhancer. Two of these are potential binding sites for STAT proteins. |
