We investigated the role of IFN-gamma and MAPKs on the expression and activity of the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-beta (C/EBPbeta ) in the T84 colon epithelial cell line. IFN-gamma induced the expression and activity of C/EBPbeta and subsequently increased the secretion of IL-6 from these cells. Treatment with the p38 inhibitor SB-203580, the MEK1 and MEK2 inhibitor U-0126, or the translational inhibitor cycloheximide inhibited the induction of C/EBPbeta and IL-6 by IFN-gamma , whereas the MEK1 inhibitor PD-98059 or the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein had no effect. These results suggest a role for MEK2 and p38 in IFN-gamma -mediated signal transduction and induction of C/EBPbeta expression and activity associated with interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion in colon epithelial cells.
