Zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP), a naturally occurring molecule, is
increased in iron deficiency and lead intoxication. ZnPP can also
induce heme oxygenase (HO-1), the enzyme it competitively inhibits. In
cultured cells (HA-1), ZnPP was the strongest HO-1 inducer of any
metalloporphyrin (MP) tested. This was not due to increased oxidative
stress, enhanced binding at metal response element, nor increased
binding at activator protein-1 (AP-1) or SP-1 sites on HO-1.
Only ZnPP, however, increased binding of nuclear proteins to early
growth response-1 (Egr-1) protein consensus sequence. Pretreatment of
HA-1 with cycloheximide inhibited ZnPP-induced HO-1 messenger RNA
(mRNA) by 55%. Incubation with antisense Egr-1 oligomers decreased
ZnPP-induced HO-1 expression by 47%. Furthermore, the level of HO-1
mRNA induction by ZnPP was 2-fold less in Egr-1-deficient fibroblasts
than in wild-type cells. Because no Egr-1 binding site was previously
identified on the HO-1 promoter, HA-1 cells were transfected with HO-1
CAT constructs containing segments of a 12.5-kb enhancer region of
HO-1. A 196-bp fragment (RH) located approximately 9.5 kb upstream of
the transcription start site mediated HO-1 induction by ZnPP alone.
DNase I footprinting analysis further revealed that nuclear proteins
bound to a 50-bp sequence in the RH. Within this sequence, a novel 9-bp
region with 78% homology to the Egr-1 consensus sequence was
identified further suggesting that Egr-1 partially mediates HO-1
induction by ZnPP. Lastly, increased apoptosis and nuclear localization
were only seen with ZnPP, suggesting that increased ZnPP in disease
states may serve as a cellular signaling mechanism.
