Abstract
The large GTPase GBP-1 (guanylate-binding protein-1) is a major IFN-gamma (interferon-gamma)-induced protein with potent anti-angiogenic activity in endothelial cells. An ISRE (IFN-alpha-stimulated response element) is necessary and sufficient for the induction of GBP-1 expression by IFN-gamma. Recently, we have shown that in vivo GBP-1 expression is strongly endothelial-cell-associated and is, in addition to IFN-gamma, also activated by interleukin-1beta and tumour necrosis factor-alpha, both in vitro and in vivo [Lubeseder-Martellato, Guenzi, Jörg, Töpolt, Naschberger, Kremmer, Zietz, Tschachler, Hutzler, Schwemmle et al. (2002) Am. J. Pathol. 161, 1749-1759; Guenzi, Töpolt, Cornali, Lubeseder-Martellato, Jörg, Matzen, Zietz, Kremmer, Nappi, Schwemmle et al. (2001) EMBO J. 20, 5568-5577]. In the present study, we identified a NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB)-binding motif that, together with ISRE, is required for the induction of GBP-1 expression by interleukin-1beta and tumour necrosis factor-alpha. Deactivation of the NF-kappaB motif reduced the additive effects of combinations of these cytokines with IFN-gamma by more than 50%. Importantly, NF-kappaB p50 rather than p65 activated the GBP-1 promoter. The NF-kappaB motif and ISRE were detected in an almost identical spatial organization, as in the GBP-1 promoter, in the promoter regions of various inflammation-associated genes. Therefore both motifs may constitute a cooperative inflammatory cytokine response module that regulates GBP-1 expression. Our findings may open new perspectives for the use of NF-kappaB inhibitors to support angiogenesis in inflammatory diseases including ischaemia.
