Rabbit CYP2E1 and CYP2E2 show considerable similarity in the 5' flanking region, but a 32-base-pair element (32-BPE) that is repeated in 2E1 is present only as a single inexact copy in 2E2, In the present investigation, footprinting disclosed two specific binding sites for liver nuclear proteins, and the DNase I sensitivity profiles of the two genes were found to be different. Several positive and negative regulatory elements were identified by transfection with a series of constructs of upstream CYP2E sequences fused to the luciferase gene. Both genes have an HNF-1 consensus motif with one nucleotide mismatch, which affects binding affinity and promoter activity, Investigation of DNA-protein interactions revealed that Spl and NF kappa B bind exclusively to the 32-BPE of 2E1 and 2E2, respectively, suggesting a possible regulatory role for the 32-BPE, Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) gave rise to a 2.5-fold increase in the promoter activity of 2E1 in HepG2 cells, and the IL-1 alpha-mediated induction of reporter gene expression was almost completely prevented when the 32-BPE was deleted. Increased DNA binding and Sp1 protein content as a result of IL-1 alpha treatment, as well as cotransfection experiments with pPacSp1, suggest that Sp1 is a transcription activator for the induction of 2E1 by IL-1 alpha in HepG2 cells.
