ABSTRACT
The expression of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan, syndecan-1, is induced both in keratinocytes and in fibroblasts during development and tissue regeneration. Here we report that in keratinocytes the syndecan-1 gene was stimulated by EGF but not by FGF-2. In fibroblasts it was stimulated by FGF-2 but not by EGF. Likewise, the recently discovered FGF-inducible response element (FiRE) on the gene of syndecan-1 was stimulated by FGF-2 in fibroblasts and by EGF in keratinocytes, but not vice versa. The FiRE has two binding sites for an activator protein-1 (AP-1), one for an FGF-inducible nuclear factor (FIN-1) and one for an upstream stimulatory factor-1 (USF-1). The growth factor-stimulated binding of these transcription factors, as well as their requirement for FiRE activation, varied between the two cell types. First, although AP-1s were required for activation of FiRE in both cell types, the binding of AP-1 to FiRE was increased by growth factor-stimulation only in fibroblasts and not in keratinocytes. Secondly, FiRE did not bind FIN-1 nor needed the FIN-1 binding site for EGF-stimulated activation in keratinocytes, in contrast to the FGF-stimulated activation of FiRE in fibroblasts. Thirdly, EGF, which did not activate FiRE in fibroblasts, failed to activate FIN-1 in these cells. Finally, an USF-1 binding site that was necessary for activation of FiRE in keratinocytes was not needed in fibroblasts. These data suggest mechanisms by which members of the EGF- and FGF-families can differentially stimulate transcription through AP-1 regulated elements in a cell type-specific manner.
