Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) induces the expression of human stromelysin-1, a matrix metalloproteinase involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Here it is shown that stromelysin-1 gene induction by PDGF depends on Ras and involves three previously identified promoter elements (the stromelysin-1 PDGF-responsive element (SPRE) site, the two head to-head polyomavirus enhancer A-binding protein 3 (PEA3) sites, and the activator protein-1 (AP-1) binding site). During mitogenic induction, these responsive elements appear to be organized in two independent transcriptional units, SPRE-AP-1 and PEA3-AP-1, which result from specific element cross talking. Interestingly, expression of a dominant negative mutant of Raf-1 significantly interfered with the induction through PEA3-AP-1 but not with that operating through SPRE-AP-1. Conversely, only the induction operating through SPRE-AP-1 was affected significantly by the expression of a dominant negative mutant of the atypical lambda/iota protein kinase C (lambda/iota PKC). These data strongly suggest that the signal triggered by PDGF flows through Ras and bifurcates toward two distinct pathways, one operating through Raf and involving PEA3-AP-1 and the other one Raf-independent, operating through lambda/iota PKC and SPRE-AP-1. Furthermore, we present evidence suggesting that the novel SPRE-binding transcription factor SPBP cross-couples with c-Jun to transactivate the SPRE site.
