The promoter activity of 1432 bp upstream of the human prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 gene (PTGS2) was examined in differentiated U937 monocytic cells expressing prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 mRNA. Transient transfection experiments were performed using these cells and reporter vectors containing the upstream region of the gene with deletions or site-specific mutations and the luciferase gene. The deletion or destruction of the cyclic AMP response element (nucleotides -59 to -53) markedly reduced the promoter activity of this gene. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that a nuclear protein(s) binding to the cyclic AMP response element was induced during monocytic differentiation of U937 cells. These results indicate that expression of the human prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 gene in differentiated U937 monocytic cells is regulated by the cyclic AMP response element.
