We have examined the mechanisms by which interferon (IFN)‐γ and IFN‐α regulate the expression of 2′‐5′‐oligoadenylate synthetase (2–5A synthetase) and class I major histocompatibility complex antigens in murine T cells and in cell types of other histological origin. When treated with IFN‐α both fibroblasts and T cell lines displayed a marked increase of the 2–5A synthetase activity and of the corresponding mRNA. The augmentation of the enzyme activityin T cells was induced by IFN‐α at the transcriptional level, as determined by nuclear run‐on analysis. In contrast IFN‐γ was capable of increasing 2–5A synthetase activity only in fibroblasts, but not in T cells. Nuclear run‐on assays revealed that the 2–5A synthetase gene in T cells is not transcriptionally activated by IFN‐γ. After IFN‐α and ‐γ treatment we also observed a significant increase in class I gene expression in fibroblasts and T cell lines as measured both on the cell surface and by cytoplasmic RNA accumulation. In the case of the T cell line, DO1110, the observed increase in the steady‐state levels of class I transcripts was a consequence of a high rate of H‐2 gene transcription as demonstrated by run‐on analysis. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this IFN‐dependent H‐2 gene transcriptional activation are differentbetween IFN‐α and IFN‐γ. When the T cell lines DO1110, L12‐R4 and EL4 were transfected with a plasmid containing a reporter gene (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase) under the control of a regulatory IFN‐responsive DNA element of 237 bp or 1.4 kb, IFN‐α was able to activate the transcription of these constructs. In contrast, IFN‐γ did not recognize the IFN‐responsive element which, by itself, activated transcription of the reporter gene in response to IFN‐γ in other cellular types of non‐T cell origin. Therefore, in the T cell linesexamined, IFN‐γ increases the H‐2 gene expression by acting on DNA elements located upstream of the regulatory segment used in this study or downstream of thecap site. This suggests a possible cell specificity in the activation of an IFN‐responsive element, that in turn may regulate the IFN‐inducible gene expression in acell‐specific fashion. Thus, the differential biological activities of IFN‐γ on T cells could be generated by a differential gene activation at the transcriptional level.
