The inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), elevated in inflammatory, malignant, and infectious diseases, induce low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor transcription in HepG2 cells, and such are induction can account for hypocholesterolemia associated with these states. However, the signaling mechanisms of cytokine-mediated LDL receptor induction are largely unexplored, In the present studies, we examined the potential involvement of different mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Northern analysis demonstrated that IL-1 beta or TNF significantly increased LDL receptor transcript in HepG2 cells, whereas expression of another tightly regulated sterol-responsive squalene synthase gene was unaffected. IL-1 beta tread;ment resulted in transient activation of three MAPK cascades, namely p46/54(JNK), p38(MAPK), and ERK-1/2, with maximal activation of 20-, 25-, and 3-fold, respectively, occurring 15-30 min after cytokine addition. PD98059, a specific inhibitor of MAPK kinase activity, inhibited IL-lp-induced LDL receptor expression In contrast, SB202190, a specific inhibitor of p38(MAPK), enhanced IL-1 beta-induced LDL receptor expression, with a concomitant increase in ERK-1/2 activity. Similarly, TNF induced LDL receptor expression also required ERK-1/2 activation. Finally, sterols repressed IL-1 beta induced receptor expression, without affecting ERK-1/2 activation. These results show that IL-IP-or TNF-induced LDL receptor expression requires ERK-1/2 activation, that the p38(MAPK) pathway negatively regulates LDL receptor expression, and that sterols inhibit induction at a point downstream of ERK-1/2 in HepG2 cells.
