| Abstract | For a long period of time, the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) has been thought to inhibit transcriptional activity for its ability to interact with CCAAT enhancer-binding protein family factors, thus preventing their binding to DNA. We have previously shown that in human T lymphocytes the CHOP phosphorylation induced by prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2))-increased interleukin-8 (IL-8) gene expression. Given the CHOP positive role in the regulation of transcription, here we have investigated the molecular mechanism(s) by which CHOP increases IL-8 gene activity under PGE(2) stimulus. Transfection experiments with mutants showed both that the CHOP transactivation domain is essential for IL-8 transcription and that the IL-8/activator protein 1 (AP-1) promoter mutated in NF-kappaB and NF-IL-6, but not in the AP-1 site, harbors essential CHOP-responsive elements. CHOP silencing confirmed its role in the IL-8 transcriptional regulation and protein production, whereas c-Jun small interfering RNA experiments showed that the PGE(2)-induced activation of IL-8 promoter is mainly c-Jun-independent. Moreover, PGE(2) induced CHOP-DNA complexes only when the entire IL-8/AP-1 promoter or the wild type sequences encompassing the AP-1 upstream region were employed. Mutations introduced in these sequences prevented the DNA-CHOP complex formation. The IL-8/AP-1 mutant promoter lacking the sequence immediately upstream the AP-1 site is PGE(2)-unresponsive. Finally, chromatin immunoprecipitation data confirmed in vivo that PGE(2) induces CHOP binding to the IL-8 promoter. Taken together, our results suggest that the increased expression of CHOP in response to PGE(2) exerts a positive transcriptional regulation of the IL-8 promoter mediated by direct binding to a novel consensus site. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
