Neuronal cell death in response to oxidative stress may reflect the
failure of endogenous adaptive mechanisms. However, the transcriptional
activators induced by oxidative stress in neurons that trigger adaptive
genetic responses have yet to be fully elucidated. We report that basal
DNA binding of the zinc finger transcription factors Sp1 and Sp3 is
unexpectedly low in cortical neurons in vitro and is
significantly induced by glutathione depletion-induced or hydrogen
peroxide-induced oxidative stress in these cells. The increases in
Sp1/Sp3 DNA binding reflect, in part, increased levels of Sp1 and Sp3
protein in the nuclei of cortical neurons. Similar induction of Sp1 and
Sp3 protein is also observed in neurons in vivo in a
chemical or a genetic model of Huntington's disease, two rodent models
in which neuronal loss has been attributed to oxidative stress.
Sustained high-level expression of full-length Sp1 or full-length Sp3,
but not the Sp1 zinc finger DNA-binding domain alone, prevents death in
response to oxidative stress, DNA damage, or both. Taken together,
these results establish Sp1 and Sp3 as oxidative stress-induced
transcription factors in cortical neurons that positively regulate
neuronal survival.
Key words:
Sp1; oxidative stress; neurons; antioxidants; Huntington's disease; DNA damage
