Induction of liver alpha-1 acid glycoprotein gene expression involves both positive and negative transcription factors

Abstract
Expression of the alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) gene is liver specific and acute phase responsive. Within the 180-bp region of the AGP promoter, at least five cis elements have been found to interact with trans-acting factors. Four of these elements (A, C, D, and E) interacted with AGP/EBP, a liver-enriched transcription factor, as shown by footprinting analysis and by an anti-AGP/EBP antibody-induced supershift in a gel retardation assay. Modification of these sites by site-directed mutagenesis coupled with transfection analysis indicated that AGP/EBP binding to all of these sites resulted in positive regulation of the promoter. Dose-response data suggest that AGP/EBP binding to these sites results in the cooperative activation of the promoter. In contrast, functional assays showed that element B is a negative regulatory element; this element is recognized by heat-stable DNA-binding factors which are found in many cells and tissues. The regulation of these binding proteins was studied in rat liver treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which induced an acute-phase reaction. We found that LPS treatment resulted in a two- to threefold increase in AGP/EBP activity and a severalfold decrease in the activity of factors that bind to element B in the liver. These results indicate that expression of the AGP gene can be regulated by both positive and negative factors and that the modulation of these factors can account for the LPS induction of the AGP gene.
