Abstract

Regulation of the constitutively expressed type 2 bradykinin (B2) receptor, which mediates the principal actions of bradykinin, occurs at multiple levels. The goal of the current study was to determine whether the human B2 3'-untranslated region (UTR) has effects on gene expression, with particular focus on the variable number of tandem repeats (B2-VNTR) polymorphic portion of the 3'-UTR and its flanking AU-rich elements (AREs). When inserted downstream of the luciferase coding region of the pGL3-Promoter vector, the B2-VNTR reduced reporter gene activity by 85% compared with pGL3-Promoter alone (promoter control; P < 0.001), an effect that was not appreciably affected by mutation of the flanking AREs. The negative regulatory effects of the B2-VNTR region were position and orientation dependent and strongly positively correlated with the number of tandem repeats in the B2-VNTR region (r = 0.85, P < 0.001). With respect to mechanism, quantitative RT-PCR revealed that the B2-VNTR mRNA level was 32% of that of promoter control (P = 0.008), whereas the number of polyadenylated transcripts was 4% (P = 0.02). In contrast, the mRNA half-life of the B2-VNTR was increased (B2-VNTR: 14.9 vs. promoter control: 12.2 h, P = 0.009). Transient transfection of human kidney-derived tsA201 cells with the B2-VNTR construct increased transcription of the native B2 receptor mRNA by 43% (P < 0.05), supporting an endogenous B2 receptor-regulatory capacity of the B2-VNTR. In conclusion, these results identify novel pretranslational effects of the B2-VNTR region to act as a potent negative regulator of heterologous gene expression and support the notion that the bradykinin B2 3'-UTR may impact endogenous receptor regulation.
