HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY

Allele-dependent transcriptional regulation of the human integrin alpha 2 gene

Genetically controlled variation in alpha 2beta 1 expression by human blood platelets was previously described. Sixty-two haplotype sequences corresponding to the proximal 5' regulatory region (-1096 to +1) of the alpha 2 gene were compared, and a dimorphic sequence -52C>T was identified that is located precisely between 2 tandem Sp1/Sp3 binding elements previously shown to be absolutely required for transcriptional activity of this gene in epithelial cell lines and the erythroleukemic cell line K562. The gene frequency of -52T in a random Caucasian population is approximately 0.35, and the expression of -52T correlates directly with reduced densities of platelet alpha 2beta 1. In mobility shift analyses, the -52T substitution attenuates complex formation with both Sp1 and Sp3. When transfected into the erythroleukemia cell line Dami, promoter-luciferase constructs bearing the -52T sequence exhibit a 5-fold decrease in activity relative to the -52C construct. In transfected CHRF-288-11 megakaryocytic cells, the corresponding activity decreases by 10-fold. The -52T sequence appears to be in linkage disequilibrium with the previously defined allele A3 (807C; HPA-5b), known to be associated with diminished expression of platelet alpha 2beta 1. In summary, a natural dimorphism has been identified within the proximal 5' regulatory region of the human integrin alpha 2 gene that is responsible for decreased expression levels of the integrin alpha 2beta 1 on blood platelets through a mechanism that is probably mediated by the nuclear regulatory proteins Sp1 and Sp3.
