The immunosuppressive cytokines transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) regulate a variety of biological processes including differentiation, proliferation, tissue repair, tumorigenesis, inflammation, and host defense. Aberrant expression of TGF beta 1 and IL-10 has been associated with many types of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, as well as with many types of cancer and leukemia. Patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) have high levels of malignant CD4+ T cells expressing IL-10 and TGF beta 1 that suppress the immune system and diminish the antitumor responses. The transcriptional regulation of TGF beta 1 and IL-10 expression is orchestrated by several transcription factors, including NF kappa B. However, while the transcriptional regulation of pro-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic genes by NF kappa B has been studied extensively, much less is known about the NF kappa B regulation of immunosuppressive genes. In this chapter, we describe a protocol that uses chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to analyze the transcriptional regulation of TGF beta 1 and IL-10 by measuring recruitment of NF kappa B p65, p50, c-Rel, Rel-B, and p52 subunits to TGF beta 1 and IL-10 promoters in human CTCL Hut-78 cells.
