Glucocorticoid regulation of hepatic S-adenosylmethionine synthetase gene expression.
The effects of glucocorticoids on the regulation of rat liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase were studied in vivo and in two culture systems. Livers from adrenalectomized animals were examined for enzyme activity, immunoreactive protein, and messenger RNA (mRNA) content. All three parameters showed a similar trend, i.e. they decreased 3-fold after adrenalectomy and increased over the control v...
متن کاملMultihormonal regulation of hepatic sinusoidal Ntcp gene expression.
Bile acids are efficiently removed from sinusoidal blood by a number of transporters including the Na+-taurocholate-cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp). Na+-dependent bile salt uptake, as well as Ntcp, are expressed twofold higher in male compared with female rat livers. Also, estrogen administration to male rats decreases Ntcp expression. The aims of this study were to determine the hormonal mec...
متن کاملGene-specific regulation of hepatic selenoprotein expression by interleukin-6.
Sepsis is a severe inflammatory disease resulting in excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6), causing oxidative stress, tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Health benefits have been observed upon selenium (Se) supplementation in severe sepsis. Selenium is incorporated into selenoproteins implicated in anti-oxidative defence, thyroid hormone metabolism ...
متن کاملRegulation of Hepatic Paraoxonase-1 Expression
Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a member of the paraoxonases family (PON1, PON2, and PON3). PON1 is synthesized and secreted by the liver, and in circulation it is associated with HDL. PON1 has antioxidative properties, which are associated with the enzyme's capability to decrease oxidative stress in atherosclerotic lesions and to attenuate atherosclerosis development. Epidemiological evidence de...
متن کاملRegulation of Gene Expression
For all living cells, regulation of gene expression by extracellular signals is a fundamental mechanism of development, homeostasis, and adaptation to the environment. Indeed, the ultimate step in many signal transduction pathways is the modification of transcription factors that can alter the expression of specific genes. Thus, neurotransmitters, growth factors, and drugs are all capable of al...
