Hypoxia/reoxygenation induction of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in melanoma cells: involvement of nuclear factor-κB, stimulatory protein-1 transcription factors and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways

Abstract: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression is found in malignant melanoma and melanoma metastases. Since areas of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) are a common feature of malignant tumours and metastases, we addressed the question whether melanoma cells produce MCP-1 upon exposure to H/R. In the present study, we show that melanoma cells up-regulate MCP-1 mRNA and protein under H/R. By means of reporter gene analysis, we further demonstrate that H/R induces transcriptional activation of the MCP-1 promote… Show more

“…Increased MCP-1 mRNA and protein expression was reported in human dermal fibroblasts exposed to hypoxia (44), and human melanoma cell lines were shown to up-regulate MCP-1 mRNA and protein under anoxia/reoxygenation (45). Moreover, stimulatory effects of hypoxia on MCP-1 have been observed in ischemic rat neurons and myocardial cells (46,47).…”

“…Interestingly, we found by computer search of the published MCP-1 promoter sequence (GenBank accession number U12470) a region of homology with the HRE (hereafter referred to as MCP-HRE) present in the promoter of many hypoxia-inducible genes (20,22,23), comprizing both an HIF-1 binding site (sequence GGCGTGGT; Ϫ1639/Ϫ1632) and a downstream HIF-1 ancillary sequence (sequence CACGC; Ϫ1626/ Ϫ1622) required for the interaction with additional transcription factors (54). At present, the role of MCP-HRE in the regulation of MCP-1 expression is not clear, because MCP-1 transcriptional induction by hypoxia in human melanoma cell lines and dermal fibroblasts was shown to be dependent on the activation of NF-B and Sp-1 binding motifs (44,45). Experiments are underway in our laboratory to determine whether MCP-1-HRE is active in the control of MCP-1 transcription by hypoxia in M.…”

“…42 The formation of MCP-1 is reduced by hypoxia in ovarian cancer cells, 43 macrophages 44,45 and human synovial fibroblasts. 46 However, hypoxia upregulated MCP-1 formation in cultured neonatal mouse cardiac myocytes and MCP-1 decreased hypoxia-induced cell death.…”

“…27,40 This finding is consistent with the selectivity of TGF␤-mediated suppression; IP-10 and MCP-1 mRNA expression are unaffected by TGF␤, though transcription of both depends upon activation of NFB. 22,41 Indeed, the kinetic patterns of expression of KC and MIP-2 mRNAs versus IP-10 and MCP-1 mRNAs are quite distinct, suggesting the mechanistic difference (Figure 1). Prior studies have shown that TGF␤-mediated suppression of interferon ␥-, IL-1␣-, or TNF␣-stimulated transcription does not involve interference with signaling responses or transcription factor activation to any of these stimulatory agents.…”
