title: Interleukin-1-inducible expression of gro-beta via NF-kappa B activation is dependent upon tyrosine kinase signaling.
abstract: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) induces programmed growth arrest in human melanoma cells, A375-C6. IL-1 action in these cells is associated with induction of a cell type-specific immediate-early (IE) gene expression program characterized by strong, rapid, and sustained induction of gro-alpha and gro-beta, but transient induction of c-jun, IRG-9, and NAK-1, and lack of induction of c-myc. With the exception of gro-alpha and gro-beta, these IE genes are also associated with growth-stimulatory responses in the melanoma cells, suggesting that the gro-genes may play key roles in the growth arrest action of the cytokine. To elucidate the early intracellular signals associated with IL-1 action, we are studying the second messenger signals and transcription factors required for induction of gro-genes. Here, we present evidence that IL-1-inducible gro-gene expression is dependent on tyrosine kinase signaling. Using gel retardation and transient expression assays, we show that IL-1 causes protein tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent activation of NF-kappa B enhancer binding protein, which then induces transcription of the gro-genes via an NF-kappa B site located 76 base pairs upstream from the cap site. IL-1-activated protein tyrosine phosphorylation is also required for gro-gene induction in human cervical carcinoma cells, HeLa; human fibroblast cells, WI-38; and mouse fibroblast cells, L929. Thus, in diverse cell types, IL-1 induces gro-genes via tyrosine kinase-dependent signals.
