Abstract
The CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) mRNAs are templates for the differential translation of several isoforms. Immunoblotting detects C/EBPαs with molecular masses of 42, 38, 30, and 20 kDa and C/EBPβs of 35, 20, and ∼8.5 kDa. The DNA-binding activities and pool levels of p42C/EBPαand p30C/EBPαin control nuclear extracts decrease significantly whereas the binding activity and protein levels of the 20-kDa isoforms increase dramatically with LPS treatment. Our studies suggest that the LPS response involves alternative translational initiation at specific in-frame AUGs, producing specific C/EBPα and C/EBPβ isoform patterns. We propose that alternative translational initiation occurs by a leaky ribosomal scanning mechanism. We find that nuclear extracts from normal aged mouse livers have decreased p42C/EBPαlevels and binding activity, whereas those of p20C/EBPαand p20C/EBPβare increased. However, translation of 42-kDa C/EBPα is not down-regulated on polysomes, suggesting that aging may affect its nuclear translocation. Furthermore, recovery of the C/EBPα- and C/EBPβ-binding activities and pool levels from an LPS challenge is delayed significantly in aged mouse livers. Thus, aged livers have altered steady-state levels of C/EBPα and C/EBPβ isoforms. This result suggests that normal aging liver exhibits characteristics of chronic stress and a severe inability to recover from an inflammatory challenge.
