The clinical use of anthracyclines to treat various canine cancers is limited by the development of cardiotoxicity. The intra-cardiac synthesis of anthracycline C-13 alcohol metabolites (e.g. daunorubicinol) contributes to the development of cardiotoxicity. Canine carbonyl reductase 1 (cbr1) catalyzes the reduction of daunorubicin into daunorubicinol. Recent mapping of thecbr1locus by sequencing DNA samples from dogs from various breeds revealed a cluster of conserved motifs for the transcription factor Sp1 in the putative promoter region ofcbr1. We hypothesized that the variable number of Sp1 motifs could impact the transcription of caninecbr1. In this study, we report the functional characterization of the caninecbr1promoter. Experiments with reporter constructs and chromatin immunoprecipitation show thatcbr1transcription depends on the binding of Sp1 to the proximal promoter. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments suggest that the variable number of Sp1 motifs impacts the transcription of caninecbr1. Inhibition of Sp1-DNA binding decreased caninecbr1mRNA levels by 54% in comparison to controls, and also decreased enzymatic carbonyl reductase activity for the substrates daunorubicin (16%) and menadione (23%). The transactivation of Sp1 increased the expression ofcbr1mRNA (67%), and increased carbonyl reductase activity for daunorubicin (35%) and menadione (27%). These data suggest that the variable number of Sp1 motifs in the caninecbr1promoter may impact the pharmacodynamics of anthracyclines in canine cancer patients.
