Abstract

The primary function of activated T lymphocytes is to produce various cytokines necessary to elicit an immune response; these cytokines include interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF). Steroid hormones and vitamin A and D3 metabolites act to repress the expression of cytokines. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) down-modulates activated IL-2 expression at the level transcription, through direct antagonism of the transactivating complex NFAT-1/AP-1 by the vitamin D3 receptor (VDR). We report here that GMCSF transcription in Jurkat T cells is also directly repressed by 1, 25-(OH)2D3 and VDR. Among four NFAT/AP-1 elements in the GMCSF enhancer, we have focused on one such element that when multimerized, is sufficient in mediating both activation by NFAT-1 and AP-1 and repression in response to 1,25-(OH)2D3. Although this element does not contain any recognizable vitamin D response elements (VDREs), high affinity DNA binding by recombinant VDR is observed. In contrast to VDR interactions with positive VDREs, this binding is independent of VDR's heterodimeric partner, the retinoid X receptor. Moreover, VDR appears to bind the GMCSF element as an apparent monomer in vitro...Continue Reading
