Human Neutrophil Lactoferrin trans-Activates the Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 Gene through Stress-activated MAPK Signaling Modules

Abstract: It has been proposed that human neutrophil lactoferrin (Lf) could be involved in gene expression as a DNA-binding protein after its translocation into the nucleus. However, the molecular basis of Lf action has not been defined, and Lf-regulated target genes have not been identified. We report here that overexpressed Lf functions as a specific trans-activator of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (

“…Human neutrophil Lf expression vector pLf was as described (23). Plasmids pRK-Flag-IKK␣, pRK-Flag-IKK␤, pRK-Flag-IKK␣ (K44A), pRKFlag-IKK␤ (K44A), and pRK-Flag-NIK (KK429 -430AA) were described previously (21).…”

“…After extensive washing, the complexes were subjected to immunoblotting with anti-CBP Ab. For immunoblot analysis using phospho-RelA Abs, 30 g each of nuclear extracts or cell lysates was used and analyzed, as described (23).…”

“…It is thought to play an important role as an innate-defense protein, because its activities include antimicrobial effects (3) and immunomodulatory effects (1), as shown previously by in vitro studies. The in vitro effects of LF are reported to involve activation of the transcription of genes such as matrix metalloproteinase 1, interleukin-1␤ (IL-1␤), tracheal antimicrobial peptide, and p53 tumor suppressor (14,15,22,32).…”

“…13,44 -47 Thus, addition of exogeneous Lf to cell culture media activates the MAPK pathway and leads to cell cycle arrest in MDAMB-231 cells, CD4 upregulation in Jurkat cells and transactivation of the matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) gene in neutrophils. 23,48,49 Nevertheless, Lf was also observed in the nucleus and it was recently reported that it could enter the nucleus after endocytosis mediated via a specific interaction with a soluble receptor identified as the surface nucleoline. 12,13 Further studies will be necessary to confirm that Lf isoforms induce transcription of genes involved in the control of cell growth and find out whether both forms target the same genes.…”
