Pancreatic ß-cells are selectively destroyed during the course of type 1 diabetes. In the early stages of the disease, inflammatory infiltrates of mononuclear cells, containing predominantly monocytes and T-cells, are present in the islets (insulitis). Chemokines, such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), play a key role in the recruitment and activation of these immunocytes. We have previously described cytokine-induced MCP-1 gene expression in human and rat pancreatic islets. In the present study, the transcriptional regulation by cytokines of the rat MCP-1 gene in fluorescence-activated cell sorting-purified rat ß-cells, insulin-producing INS-1E cells, and RINm5F cells was investigated. Transient transfections with luciferase-reporter constructs identified an interleukin (IL)-1ß-responsive enhancer region between -2,180 bp and -2,478 bp. Mutation of either of the two nuclear factor (NF)- B sites present in this region abrogated IL-1ß-induced MCP-1 promoter activity. Binding of NF- B to the two sites was shown in vitro by gel shift assays, while supershift assays revealed the presence of p65/p50 heterodimers and p65 homodimers. In vivo binding of NF- B was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Blocking of NF- B activation in cytokine-exposed primary ß-cells by an adenovirus overexpressing a nondegradable form of I B or by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate decreased IL-1ß-induced MCP-1 mRNA expression. We conclude that NF- B plays an important role for MCP-1 expression in ß-cells. This transcription factor may be an interesting target for ex vivo gene therapy before islet transplantation.
