Integrin alpha v beta 8 is a critical regulator of transforming growth factor beta activation in vasculogenesis during development, immune regulation, and endothelial/ epithelial-mesenchymal homeostasis. Recent studies have suggested roles for integrin beta 8 in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, brain arteriovenous malformations, and select cancers (Araya, J., Cambier, S., Markovics, J. A., Wolters, P., Jablons, D., Hill, A., Finkbeiner, W., Jones, K., Broaddus, V. C., Sheppard, D., Barzcak, A., Xiao, Y., Erle, D. J., and Nishimura, S. L. (2007) J. Clin.

Z., O-Connell, D., Boylen, K., Travis, W., Liu, W. H., Broaddus, V. C., and Nishimura, S. L. (2000) Cancer Res. 60, 7084-7093). Here we report the first identification and characterization of the promoter for ITGB8. We show that a SP binding site and a cyclic AMP response element (CRE) in the ITGB8 core promoter are required for its expression and that Sp1, Sp3, and several AP-1 transcription factors form a complex that binds to these sites in a p38-dependent manner. Furthermore, we demonstrate the requirement for Sp3, ATF-2, and p38 for the transcription and protein expression of integrin beta 8. Additionally, reduction of SP3 or inhibition of p38 blocks alpha v beta 8-mediated transforming growth factor beta activation. These results place integrin beta 8 expression and activity under the control of ubiquitous transcription factors in a stress-activated and pro-inflammatory pathway.
