Interleukin-6 Promoter mutagenized (IL-6 Pmut)

Usage and Biology

The human interleukin-6 promoter originally controls the expression of the cytokine Il-6 that is involved in the regulation of the acute-phase response to injury and infection but also other processes like hematopoiesis and embryonal development (Heinrich el al. 2003). The regulation of transcription exerted by the IL-6 promoter is mainly controlled by several cis-acting response elements present within the promoter region including binding motifs for NF-κB, NF-IL6, CREB, C/EBP, AP-1 and AP-2 (Xiao et al. 2004, Beetz et al. 2000). The regulation of the IL-6 promoter depends on the cell type and the stimulus. This means that different transcription factors are needed under different conditions. In our study we used LPS to induce IL-6 promoter activation. In this case the transcription factors NF-κB and AP1 play important roles (Xiao et al. 2004, Liu et al. 2018). The activation of the promoter is achieved by the cooperative binding of NF-κB and c-Jun (AP-1) (Xiao et al. 2004). AP-1- and NF-κB-translocation to the nucleus is triggered downstream of Toll like receptor (TLR) signaling cascades involving TRIF, MyD88, RIPK1 and TAK1 (Kawai and Akira 2007).

In our study it was tested for a LPS-sensitivity for use our inflammatory toxin sensor. Unfortunately, the mutagenized promoter is not sensitive to LPS supplementation to the medium of Hela cells.
