The mannose receptor is a 175 kDa protein found on the surface of macrophages and dendritic cells whose functions include clearance of extracellular hydrolases, internalization of pathogens, and antigen capture. Receptor expression is closely linked to the functional state of these cells and is regulated by cytokines. Previous work has shown that treatment of macrophages and dendritic cells with interleukin-4 leads to increased mannose receptor expression. We have examined the mechanism of this IL-4-mediated up-regulation in the murine dendritic cell line FSDC. IL-4 increased mannose receptor activity, protein, and mRNA. The mannose receptor promoter was functional in FSDCs using transient transfection assays, and IL-4 treatment increased promoter activity 2.6-fold. The responsive region was localized to the proximal 228 bp. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays detected an IL-4-inducible protein that bound to the mannose receptor promoter at a site spanning the region between -147 and -108 bp. The sequence TTAC(N)4CACC (-135 and -124 bp) is similar to the IL-4 response region in the Fc receptor II. Mutation of the flanking TT and CC in this motif blocked IL-4 responsiveness and binding of the IL-4-induced mannose receptor binding protein. This protein does not appear to be STAT6 since neither an anti-STAT6 antibody nor a STAT6 consensus oligonucleotide altered factor binding. 相似文献
