          Abstract

          Both astrocytes in the central nervous system and fibroblasts in somatic tissues are not only the major sources of extracellular matrix components but also of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of enzymes directly involved in extracellular matrix breakdown. We have analyzed the regulation of the expression of MMPs and TIMPs (tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases) in human primary astrocytes stimulated with oncostatin M (OSM) and other extracellular mediators in comparison with normal human dermal fibroblasts. It was found that OSM induced/enhanced transcription of MMP-1 (interstitial collagenase) and MMP-3 (stromelysin 1) in astrocytes, and MMP-1, MMP-9 (gelatinase B), and TIMP-1 in fibroblasts. Analysis of the signal transduction leading to activation of the MMP-1 gene revealed the presence of an OSM-responsive element (OMRE) encompassing the AP-1 binding site and the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) binding element, which mediate activation by OSM. OMRE is also present in the TIMP-1 gene promoter and, although there are some differences in these two motifs, both appear to be targets for the simultaneous action of OSM-induced nuclear effectors. The induced enhancement of transcription by synergistically acting AP-1 and STAT binding elements in response to OSM is Raf-dependent. Cross-talk between the mitogen-activated protein kinase and JAK-STAT pathways is required to achieve maximal induction of the OMRE-driven transcription by OSM.
