Transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?) is a major regulator of collagen gene
expression in human skin fibroblasts. Cellular responses to TGF-? are mediated
primarily through its cell surface type I (T?RI) and type II (T?RII) receptors.
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation impairs TGF-? signalling largely due to reduced
T?RII gene expression, thereby decreasing type I procollagen synthesis, in human
skin fibroblasts. UV irradiation does not alter either T?RII mRNA or protein
stability, indicating that UV reduction in T?RII expression likely results from
transcriptional or translational repression. To understand how UV irradiation
regulates T?RII transcription, we used a series of T?RII promoter-luciferase
5'-deletion constructs (covering 2 kb of the T?RII proximal promoter) to
determine transcriptional rate in response to UV irradiation. We identified a
137-bp region upstream of the transcriptional start site that exhibited high
promoter activity and was repressed 60% by UV irradiation, whereas all other
T?RII promoter reporter constructs exhibited either low promoter activities or no
regulation by UV irradiation. Mutation of potential transcription factor binding
sites within the promoter region revealed that an inverted CCAAT box (-81 bp from
transcription start site) is required for promoter activity. Mutation of the
CCAAT box completely abolished UV irradiation regulation of the T?RII promoter.
Protein-binding assay, as determined by electrophoretic mobility-shift assays
(EMSAs) using the inverted CCAAT box as probe (-100/-62), demonstrated
significantly enhanced protein binding in response to UV irradiation. Super shift
experiments indicated that nuclear factor Y (NFY) is able to binding to this
sequence, but NFY binding was not altered in response to UV irradiation,
indicating additional protein(s) are capable of binding this sequence in response
to UV irradiation. Taken together, these data indicate that UV irradiation
reduces T?RII expression, at least partially, through transcriptional repression.
This repression is mediated by a 38-bp sequence in T?RII promoter, in human skin
fibroblasts.
