We have recently shown that regulatory element D (nucleotides -239 to -215) of the 0.25-kb promoter of the human growth factor-activatable Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE1) is important for gene transcription in cells of hepatic origin (Hep G2) and vascular smooth muscle origin (VSM A7r5). This element contains a sequence (nucleotides -230 to -222) with complete homology to the C/EBP binding site. We now demonstrate that nucleotide substitution mutations disrupting this C/EBP site suppressed transcription in Hep G2 cells, VSM A7r5 cells, and Sprague-Dawley VSM cells in primary culture. These mutations abolished the binding of rat liver nuclear activities as well as transcription factors C/EBP alpha, C/EBP beta, and C/EBP delta expressed in COS-1 cell lysates to element D. Anti-C/EBP antibodies supershifted DNA-protein complexes formed between hepatic nuclear activities or C/EBP proteins expressed in COS-1 cell lysates and regulatory element D. Finally, cotransfection experiments of NHE1 0.25-kb promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) construct and C/EBP expression vectors showed that C/EBP alpha and C/EBP delta are transactivators of the NHE1 proximal promoter in Hep G2 and VSM A7r5 cells. These results indicate that members of the C/EBP family of transcription factors are involved in the regulation of hepatic and vascular smooth muscle transcription of the human NHE1 gene.
