Adjusting translation is crucial for cells to rapidly adapt to changing conditions. While pro-proliferative signaling via the PI3K-mTOR-pathway is known to induce cap-dependent translation, stress conditions, such as nutrient deprivation or hypoxia often activate alternative modes of translation, e. g., via internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs). As the effects of inflammatory conditions on translation are only poorly characterized, we aimed at identifying translationally deregulated targets in inflammatory settings. For this purpose, we cocultured breast tumor cells with conditioned medium of activated monocyte-derived macrophages (CM). Polysome profiling and microarray analysis identified early growth response-2 (egr2) to be regulated at the level of translation. Using bicistronic reporter assays, we found that egr2 contains an IRES within its 5' UTR, which facilitated enhanced translation upon CM treatment. We further provide evidence that the activity of egr2-IRES was induced by IL-1 beta and p38-MAPK signaling. In addition, we identified several potential IRES trans-acting factors (ITAFs) such as polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) and hnRNP-A1 that directly bind to the egr2-5'UTR. In summary, our data provide evidence that egr2 expression is translationally regulated via an IRES element, which is responsive to an inflammatory environment.
