Estrogen‐Related Receptor α (ERRα) represses PGC‐1α‐activated PEPCK gene transcription

SMAD3 represses androgen receptor-mediated transcription.

The androgen-signaling pathway is important in the growth and progression of prostate cancer. Androgen ablation therapy, which may result in programmed cell death, is often used to treat advanced prostate cancer. The growth-promoting effects of androgen are mediated mostly through the androgen receptor (AR). Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays critical roles in controlling prostate...

Germ cell nuclear factor directly represses the transcription of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta gene.

Germ cell nuclear factor (GCNF) is a transcription factor that can repress gene transcription and plays an important role during spermatogenesis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) is a nuclear hormone receptor belonging to the steroid receptor superfamily. It can activate the expression of many genes, including those involved in lipid metabolism. In this report, we sh...

Farnesoid X receptor responds to bile acids and represses cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7A1) transcription.

Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7A1) transcription is repressed by bile acids. The goal of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of CYP7A1 transcription by bile acid-activated farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in its native promoter and cellular context and to identify FXR response elements in the gene. In Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRalpha)/FXR...

Estrogen related receptor α (ERRα) a promising target for the therapy of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC)

The pathogenesis of the adrenocortical cancer (ACC) involves integration of molecular signals and the interplay of different downstream pathways (i.e. IGFII/IGF1R, β-catenin, Wnt, ESR1). This tumor is characterized by limited therapeutic options and unsuccessful treatments. A useful strategy to develop an effective therapy for ACC is to identify a common downstream target of these multiple path...
