Abstract:
:Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine produced by macrophages in response to intracellular pathogens and provides an obligatory signal for the differentiation of T-helper-1 cells. p300 is an important histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression. Whether p300 plays a role in the IL-12 expression has not been investigated before. In this study, we analyzed the roles of p300 in the regulation of human IL-12 p40. By using RT-PCR and a series of co-transfection studies, we found that p300 had a stimulating effect on the expression of endogenous IL-12 p40 mRNA and on the activity of IL-12 p40 promoter. We also showed that the HAT activity of p300 was essential to its function in regulating IL-12 promoter, since the mutant p300 with the HAT domain deleted did not have such a stimulation effect. In addition, the adenovirus E1A protein suppressed the p300 function, whereas the mutant E1A lacking the p300 interaction domain did not. Furthermore, p300 was able to reinforce the c-Rel-mediated activation of IL-12 p40. Results presented in this paper implicate that p300 is involved in the transcriptional regulation of IL-12 p40, and IL-12 p40 is one of the target genes of p300.
