We previously reported th at selective ablation of the nuclear receptors retinoid X receptor (RXR)-alpha and RXR-beta in mouse epidermal keratinocytes (RXR-a beta(ep-/-)) or a topical application of active vitamin D3 (VD3) and/or all-trans retinoic acid (RA) on wild-type mouse skin induces a human atopic dermatitis-like phenotype that is triggered by an increased expression of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) proinflammatory cytokine. We demonstrate here that in epidermal keratinocytes, unliganded heterodimers of vitamin D receptor (VDR)/RXR-alpha and retinoic acid receptor-gamma (RAR-gamma)/RXR-beta are bound as repressing complexes to their cognate DNA-binding sequence(s) (DBS) in the TSLP promoter regulatory region. Treatments with either an agonistic VD3 analog or RA dissociate the repressing complexes and recruit coactivator complexes and RNA polymerase II, thereby inducing transcription. Furthermore, we identified several functional NF-kappa B, activator protein 1 (AP1), STAT, and Smad DBS in the TSLP promoter region. Interestingly, many of these transcription factors and DBS present in the TSLP promoter region are differentially used in intestinal epithelial cell(s) (IEC). Collectively, our study reveals that, in vivo within their heterodimers, the RXR and RAR isotypes are not functionally redundant, and it also unveils the combinatorial mechanisms involved in the tissue-selective regulation of TSLP transcription in epidermal keratinocytes and IEC.
