Abstract
Unlike that of skeletal muscle cells in which growth and differentiation appear mutually exclusive, growth stimulation of cardiac cells is characterized by transient expression of early response nuclear proto-oncogenes as well as induction of several cardiac-specific markers. This observation led to the speculation that these proto-oncogenes, particularly c-fos and c-jun, might act as positive regulators of cardiac transcription. We have examined the role of c-jun and c-fos in basal and growth-stimulated cardiac transcription, using the cardiac-specific atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) gene as a marker. The results indicate that c-jun and c-fos are negative regulators of ANF transcription. Inducers of jun and fos activity, such as mitogens and growth factors, inhibited endogenous ANF transcripts. In transient cotransfection assays, jun and fos were able to trans-repress the ANF promoter in both quiescent and alpha 1-adrenergic stimulated myocytes. This repression was specific to myocyte cultures and was not observed in nonmuscle cells. Deletion analysis indicated that repression does not require typical AP-1-binding sites (tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate response elements) or serum response elements but is targeted at a cardiac-specific element within the ANF promoter. Various Fos-related proteins, including Fra-1, Fos B, and v-Fos, were able to trans-repress ANF transcription. In addition, C-terminal c-fos mutants which no longer repress transcription of such early growth response genes as c-fos and EGR-1 retained the ability to repress ANF transcription. Repression by c-jun occurs via the N-terminal activation domain and does not require the DNA-binding domain, suggesting that proto-oncogene repression involves interaction with one or more limiting cardiac-specific coactivators.
