Previously, we reported that the paralogous zinc-finger proteins--CTCF and brother of the regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS), directly contribute to transcriptional regulation of NY-ESO-1 in lung cancer cells. To further examine mechanisms that mediate expression of this cancer-testis gene, we performed software-guided analysis of the NY-ESO-1 promoter region, which revealed several potential Sp1-binding motifs. Sequential 5-aza-2'deoxycytidine/depsipeptide FK228 treatment markedly induced BORIS expression and enhanced nuclear translocation of Sp1 in lung cancer cells. Transient transfection assays using promoter-reporter constructs, as well as gel-shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that NY-ESO-1 promoter activity coincided with occupancy of the proximal Sp1-binding site in lung cancer cells. Mutations within the Sp1 recognition sequence specifically eliminated binding of Sp1 to this motif in vitro, and markedly diminished NY-ESO-1 promoter activity in vivo. siRNA-mediated inhibition of Sp1 expression decreased NY-ESO-1 promoter activity, whereas knock down of CTCF expression augmented NY-ESO-1 transcription in lung cancer cells. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that Sp1 physically interacts with BORIS but not with CTCF in vivo. Collectively, these findings suggest that BORIS recruits Sp1 to mediate de-repression of NY-ESO-1 during pulmonary carcinogenesis.
