As part of the inflammatory response, the localization of leukocytes
depends to an important degree on cytokine-induced expression of vascular
cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on endothelial cells (EC). We have
previously shown that VCAM-1 expression is induced on human umbilical vein
EC (HUVEC) by both tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- alpha) and
interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), whereas on human dermal microvascular EC
(HDMEC) only TNF alpha results in VCAM-1 expression. To explore molecular
mechanisms responsible for these contrasting patterns of VCAM-1 induction
in HUVEC versus HDMEC, we performed transcriptional activation studies with
VCAM-1-based reporter constructs and in vitro binding assays using two
adjacent NF-kappa B binding sequences of the VCAM-1 promoter as a DNA
probe. Previous studies have established that these NF-kappa B motifs are
required for cytokine-induced VCAM-1 transcription, and may further mediate
cell- specific VCAM-1 gene activation by cytokines. The findings reported
here demonstrate a significant HDMEC-specific attenuation of VCAM-1 gene
transcription in response to IL-1 alpha, but not TNF alpha. An upstream
VCAM-1 gene regulatory region distinct from the NF-kappa B sites appears to
function as an IL-1 alpha-mediated transcriptional repressor within HDMEC.
This repressor region conveys IL-1 alpha- dependent, but not TNF
alpha-dependent, inhibition of transcription driven by a heterologous
cytokine response element and promoter.
