PG - 1979-89 AB - Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is produced by different cells in response to inflammatory stimulation. In the present study, a series of human MCP-1 promoter reporter genes were constructed to illustrate elements involved in antioxidant dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) inhibition of MCP-1 gene expression. MCP-1 secretion and mRNA expression and transcription activity stimulated by TNF-alpha or IL-1beta were significantly inhibited by 1% DMSO in alveolar type II epithelial cells (A549). Deletion of -7537 to -2741 caused a 77% decrease in reporter activity, but DMSO inhibition was still present. Deletion of -7537 to -2616 containing the A1 NF-kappaB binding site resulted in a complete loss of MCP-1 stimulation. Deletion of -2585 to -74 decreased reporter activity by approximately 50%, and DMSO inhibited this induction. Deletion of -2614 to -74 containing the A2 NF-kappaB binding site completely abolished responses to stimulation. Mutations of either of the NF-kappaB binding sites decreased promoter activity, which could still be inhibited by DMSO, whereas deletion of both NF-kappaB binding sites abolished induced transcriptional activity. Mutation or deletion of the NF-kappaB binding sites significantly decreased or abolished reporter activity in response to reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI), generated by xanthine plus xanthine oxidase. In conclusion, DMSO inhibits MCP-1 gene expression through both NF-kappaB binding sites located far upstream of the 5'-flanking region of the MCP-1 promoter.
