PG - 713-22 AB - Bone loss observed in postmenopausal women is clearly associated with a decrease in estrogen levels. Interleukin 6 (IL-6), a multifunctional cytokine involved in osteoclast differentiation, is secreted by osteoblasts and appears to be a key molecule in the osteoporotic process. As previous reports have shown that the human IL-6 promoter is inhibited by estradiol, we investigated the mechanism of estradiol (E2)-mediated IL-6 inhibition in human cells. Analysis of the IL-6 secretion as a function of time in osteoblastoma Saos-2 cells, using an IL-6 ELISA test, showed that a maximal E2 inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) induction could be monitored between 2 and 24 h of treatment. IL-6 inhibition was clearly estrogen agonist-specific in Saos-2 and MCF7 cells. Transient transfections of HeLa cells with a pIL-6/CAT plasmid and an estrogen receptor (human ER) expression vector, confirmed the role of the human ER in inhibition of the IL-6 promoter. Deletion and mutational analysis of the promoter highlighted the role of the -185/-60 region and showed that in both MCF7 and HeLa cells, the nuclear factor-IL 6 (NF-IL6) site cooperates with the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) motif to produce maximal induction by TNF alpha, whereas the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) site displayed different cooperative effects toward NF-kappa B depending on the cell line used. In HeLa cells, but not in MCF7 cells, we defined an essential role for the C/EBP site by showing that the E2 sensitivity was clearly dependent on its integrity. In these cell lines, the NF-kappa B site mutation abrogated both the TNF alpha-and E2- sensitivity of the construct. FAU - Galien, R AU - Galien R AD - Roussel Uclaf, Romainville, France.
