Interleukin (IL)-8 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 are proangiogenic factors overexpressed in advanced human melanoma. We investigated the effects of TGF-β1 on IL-8 expression in the well-characterized A375 human melanoma system. We demonstrated by enzyme-linked immunoassay and Northern blot analysis that TGF-β1 selectively induced IL-8 expression, at both protein and mRNA levels, in highly metastatic A375SM cells but not cells of their poorly metastatic parental line A375P. Transient transfection with luciferase reporter gene constructs revealed that TGF-β1 activated IL-8 promoter activity in A375SM cells but not A375P cells. Studies with progressive 5′ deletion constructs and site-specific mutations demonstrated that a construct containing −133 to +44 of the 5′-flanking sequence was necessary and sufficient for maximal TGF-β1-induced transcription response and that TGF-β1-induced activation of IL-8 promoter depended on AP-1 (−126 to −120bp), NF-κB (−94 to −71bp), and C/EBP-like factor NF-IL6 (−94 to −81bp) in this region. Interestingly, both A375P and A375SM cells expressed type I and type II TGF-β receptors and TGF-β1 induced the nuclear translocation of Smad3 protein in both A375P and A375SM cells. Moreover, both A375P and A375SM cells were susceptible to TGF-β1-induced growth inhibition. Our data thus demonstrated that TGF-β1 selectively induced IL-8 expression in highly metastatic A375SM melanoma cells. This TGF-β1-induced IL-8 expression could be an amplification cascade responsible for overexpression of IL-8 in human melanoma and one of potential mechanisms by which TGF-β1 promotes angiogenesis, growth, and metastasis of human melanoma.
