Inflammatory stresses associated with inflammatory bowel diseases up-regulate P2Y(2), mRNA receptor expression in the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2, the noncancerous IEC-6 cells and in colonic tissues of patient suffering from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, the transcriptional events regulating P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) expression are not known. We have identified a putative transcription start site in the P2Y2R gene and demonstrated acetylation of Lys(14) on histone H3 and Lys(8) on histone H4, thus suggesting that the chromatin associated with the P2Y2 promoter is accessible to transcription factors. We also showed that the transcription factor NF-kappa B p65 regulates P2Y(2)R transcription under both proinflammatory and basal conditions. A NF-kappa B-responsive element was identified at -181 to -172 bp in the promoter region of P2Y(2),. Hence, activation of P2Y(2)R by ATP and UTP stimulated cyclooxygenase-2 expression and PGE(2) secretion by intestinal epithelial cells. These findings demonstrate that P2Y2R expression is regulated during intestinal inflammation through an NF-kappa B p65-dependent mechanism and could contribute not only to inflammatory bowel disease but also to other inflammatory diseases by regulating PG release.
