Background: Proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF
and IL-1
lead to down-regulation
of hepatic organic anion transporters in cholestasis. This adapted response is
transcriptionally mediated by nuclear hormone receptors and liver-specific transcription
factors. Aim: Since little is known in vivo about cytokine-dependent regulatory events,
mice were treated with either TNF
or IL-1
up to 16h. Methods: Transporter mRNA-expression
was determined by Northern analysis, nuclear activity and protein-expression
of transactivators by EMSA and Western blotting. Results: TNF
induces a sustained
decrease in Ntcp, Oatp1/Oatp1a1 and Bsep mRNA-expression, but exerts only transient
(Mrp2) or no effects (Mrp3) on Mrps. In addition to Ntcp and Oatp1/Oatp1a1 IL-1
also
down-regulates Bsep, Mrp2 and Mrp3 mRNAs to some extent. To study transcriptional
regulation Ntcp and Bsep promoters were first cloned from mice revealing a new distal
NtcpHNF1-element, but otherwise show a conserved localization to known rat regulatory
elements. Changes in transporter-expression are preceeded by reduction in binding-activities
at IR-1, ER-8, DR-5 and HNF1
sites after 4h by either cytokine, which
remained more sustained by TNF
in case of nuclear receptors. Nuclear protein levels
of RXR
are significantly decreased by TNF
, but only transiently affected by IL-1
.
Minor reductions of RAR, FXR, PXR and CAR nuclear proteins are restricted to 4h after
cytokine-application and paralleled by a decrease in mRNA levels. Conclusions:
Basolateral and canalicular transporter-systems are down-regulated by both cytokines,
TNF
and IL-1
. Activity of HNF1
as regulator of mNtcp is suppressed by both
cytokines. Decreased binding activities of nuclear receptor-heterodimers may be
explained by a reduction of the ubiquitous heterodimerization-partner RXR
.
