Popis: The induction mechanism of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) by heat shock (HS) is still unknown. Here, we discovered that HS activates the HO-1 expression in a mouse hepatoma cell line (Hepa 1-6). Knockdown experiments showed that the HS-induced HO-1 expression was dependent on HS factor 1 (HSF1). A chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay demonstrated that the HS-activated HSF1 bound to the HS elements (HSEs) in the upstream enhancer 1 region (E1). Unexpectedly, HS also facilitates the BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) binding to the Maf recognition elements (MAREs) in E1. We examined the effects of a catalytically inactive CRISPR-associated 9 nucleases (dCas9) with short guide RNAs (sgRNAs), and demonstrated that the HSF1 binding to HSEs in E1 was indispensable for the HS-induced HO-1 expression. Heme treatment (HA) dissociates BACH1 from MAREs and facilitated the binding of nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) to MAREs. Following treatment with both HS and HA, the HO-1 induction and the HSF1 binding to HSEs in E1 were most notably observed. These results indicate that the HS-induced HO-1 expression is dependent on the HSF1 binding to HSEs in E1, although modulated by the BACH1 and NRF2 binding to MAREs within the same E1.
