Hepatocyte nuclear factor-3 homologue 1 (HFH-1) represses transcription of smooth muscle-specific genes.
Results show that smooth muscle-specific promoters represent novel downstream targets of the winged helix factor hepatocyte nuclear factor-3 homologue 1 (HFH-1). HFH-1 strongly represses telokin promoter activity when overexpressed in A10 vascular smooth muscle cells. HFH-1 was also found to repress transcription of several other smooth muscle-specific promoters, including the SM22alpha promote...
متن کاملHepatocyte nuclear factor-3 alpha promoter regulation involves recognition by cell-specific factors, thyroid transcription factor-1, and autoactivation.
The hepatocyte nuclear factor-3 alpha (HNF-3 alpha) and -3 beta proteins share homology in the winged helix/fork head DNA binding domain and regulate cell-specific transcription in hepatocytes and respiratory epithelium. In this study, we used transfection assays to demonstrate that the -520 nucleotides upstream of the rat HNF-3 alpha gene were sufficient for cell-specific expression. We identi...
متن کاملHepatocyte nuclear factor 1 is essential for transcription of sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter protein 1.
Transport and distribution of vitamin C is primarily regulated by the function of sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters (SVCTs). SVCT1 is expressed in the small intestine, liver, and kidney, organs that play a vital role in whole body vitamin C homeostasis. Despite the importance of this protein, little is known about regulation of the gene encoding SVCT1, Slc23a1. In this study, we present t...
متن کاملPlatelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB and Ets-1 Transcription Factor Negatively Regulate Transcription of Multiple Smooth Muscle Differentiation Marker Genes
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)-BB, a potent mitogen for mesenchymal cells, also down-regulates the expression of multiple smooth muscle (SM) specific markers. However, there is conflicting evidence whether PDGF-BB represses SM marker expression at a transcriptional or posttranscriptional level, and little is known regarding the mechanisms responsible for these effects. Results of the pre...
متن کاملHepatocyte nuclear factor 1 and hypertensive nephropathy.
Hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) is associated with renal redox stress, and we hypothesized that nephropathy arises in SHR-A3 from altered capacity to mitigate redox stress compared with nephropathy-resistant SHR lines. We measured renal expression of redox genes in distinct lines of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR-A3, SHR-B2, SHR-C) and the normotensive Wistar-Kyoto...
