HoxA10 represses transcription of the gene encoding p67phox in phagocytic cells.

چکیده
p67(phox) and gp91(phox) are components of the phagocyte-specific respiratory burst oxidase that are encoded by the NCF2 and CYBB genes, respectively. These genes are transcribed exclusively in myeloid cells that have differentiated beyond the promyelocyte stage. In mature phagocytes, NCF2 and CYBB transcription continues until cell death and further increases in response to IFN-gamma and other inflammatory mediators. Because p67(phox) and gp91(phox) expression profiles are similar, we hypothesize that common transcription factors interact with homologous cis elements in the CYBB and NCF2 genes to coordinate transcription. Previously, we identified a negative CYBB promoter cis element that is repressed by the homeodomain transcription factor HoxA10. We found that transcriptional repression requires HoxA10-dependent recruitment of histone deacetylase activity to the CYBB cis element. In response to IFN-gamma, phosphorylation of two tyrosine residues in the HoxA10 homeodomain decreases binding to CYBB promoter, thereby abrogating HoxA10-mediated repression. In the current studies, we investigate the possibility that HoxA10 similarly represses NCF2 transcription. We identify a sequence in the NCF2 promoter that is homologous to the HoxA10-binding CYBB cis element. We find that this NCF2 promoter sequence functions as a negative cis element that is repressed by HoxA10 in a tyrosine phosphorylation and histone deacetylase-dependent manner. Our results suggest that cytokine-stimulated pathways regulate HoxA10-mediated repression of the CYBB and NCF2 genes in differentiating myeloid cells and in mature phagocytes during the inflammatory response. Because p67(phox) and gp91(phox) are rate-limiting components for respiratory burst activity, our studies may identify rational therapeutic targets to modulate free radical generation in pathological conditions.

JAK2 is necessary and sufficient for interferon- -induced transcription of the gene encoding gp91
During the inflammatory response, interferon(IFN) increases transcription of the gene encoding gp91, a respiratory burst oxidase component. This gene (referred to as the CYBB gene) is transcribed in phagocytic cells differentiated beyond the promyelocyte stage, and transcription continues until cell death. Previous investigations identified a positive regulatory element in the proximal CYBB pro...
متن کاملPbx1 represses osteoblastogenesis by blocking Hoxa10-mediated recruitment of chromatin remodeling factors.
Abdominal-class homeodomain-containing (Hox) factors form multimeric complexes with TALE-class homeodomain proteins (Pbx, Meis) to regulate tissue morphogenesis and skeletal development. Here we have established that Pbx1 negatively regulates Hoxa10-mediated gene transcription in mesenchymal cells and identified components of a Pbx1 complex associated with genes in osteoblasts. Expression of Pb...

A poor prognosis subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by increased expression of a set of homeodomain (HD) transcription factors, including HoxA9, HoxA10 and Cdx4. This encompasses AML with MLL1 gene translocations, because Mll1-fusion proteins aberrantly activate HOX transcription. We previously identified FGF2 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 2) as a target gene for HoxA9 and Hox...
متن کاملHoxA10 Terminates Emergency Granulopoiesis by Increasing Expression of Triad1.
Expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Triad1 is greater in mature granulocytes than in myeloid progenitor cells. HoxA10 actives transcription of the gene encoding Triad1 (ARIH2) during myeloid differentiation, but the contribution of increased Triad1 expression to granulocyte production or function is unknown. Mice with bone marrow-specific disruption of the ARIH2 gene exhibit constitutive infl...
