An elevated level of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (MIP-1 beta) induced by IL-1 beta has been correlated with chronic hepatic inflammatory disease. However, molecular mechanism of IL-1 beta-induced MIP-1 beta expression in hepatic cells is obscure. Previously, we reported the mechanism of the anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity of helioxanthin (HE-145). Here, we demonstrated that HE-145 inhibited IL-1 beta-induced MIP-1 beta expression in a dose-dependent manner in Huh7 cells. To understand the mode of action of HE-145, we first examined how IL-1 beta induced MIP-1 beta expression at the molecular level. Using selective inhibitors, we found that JNK and p38 pathways participated in IL-1 beta-induced MIP-1 beta expression. HE-145 specifically suppressed IL-1 beta-induced c-jun mRNA and protein expression and prevented c-jun-mediated AP-1 DNA-binding activity, whereas it had no effect on IL-1 beta-induced activation of JNK, p38 and ATF2. Further studies indicated that HE-145 may downregulate c-jun mRNA expression directly at transcriptional level without requirement of de novo protein synthesis. Mutational analysis and supershift assays indicated that IL-1 beta stimulated c-jun and CREB1 binding to the essential AP-1/CRE site of the MIP-1 beta promoter. The inhibitory effect of HE-145 on IL-1 beta-induced MIP-1 beta promoter activity was completely reversed by overexpressing c-jun. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay consistently revealed that HE-145 reduced c-jun binding to the AP-1/CRE site in vitro and in vivo. Our results established a majorrole for c-jun in IL-1 beta-induced MIP-1 beta expression in hepatic cells. The reduction in IL-1 beta-induced c-jun expression and subsequent binding of the c-jun/CREB1 complex to AP-1/CRE site mainly contributed to the inhibitory action of HE-145 on IL-1 beta-induced MIP-1 beta production.
