PMID- 8666585 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 19960806 LR - 20190821 IS - 0021-9290 (Print) IS - 0021-9290 (Linking) VI - 28 IP - 12 DP - 1995 Dec TI - Multiple cis-elements mediate shear stress-induced gene expression. PG - 1451-7 AB - Fluid shear stress activates the expression of immediate early (IE) genes in vascular endothelial cells. The transcriptional regulation can be mediated through the shear stress-sensitive cis-acting elements at the 5' promoter regions of various IE genes such as the monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) gene. We linked wild-type and mutated MCP-1 promoters to the reporter gene luciferase and used such constructs to investigate the role of the phorbol ester TPA responsive element (TRE) in the shear-induced MCP-1 gene expression in vascular endothelial cells. Functional analysis showed that TGACTCC (a divergent TRE) located at nt -54 to -60 is necessary for shear-inducibility in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC). The induction of the wild-type MCP-1 promoter construct by shear stress was attenuated by pretreating the cells with 1 microM dexamethasone or 1 microM retinoic acid 12 h before the shear stress experiments. The induction by shear stress reduced from 13-fold in the untreated cells to 7- and 3-folds in the dexamethasone- and retinoic acid-treated cells, respectively. These results demonstrate that the glucocorticoid receptor and retinoic acid receptor may interfere with the shear stress-activated AP-1/TRE. The reporter activity of HIV(LTR), which is a plasmid construct of the long terminal repeats of the human immunodeficiency virus and contains a kappa B enhancer element, was also activated by shear stress. The results of our investigations indicate that the shear stress-induced IE gene expression can be mediated through multiple cis-elements.
