Human caspase 7 is positively controlled by SREBP-1 and SREBP-2.
Statins are lipid-lowering drugs that may help limit cancer occurrence in humans. They drive blockage of the mevalonate pathway, trigger cancer cell apoptosis in vitro and reduce tumour incidence in animals. We have shown in the present study that statins induced apoptosis in HGT-1 human gastric cancer cells, and this was prevented by intermediates of the cholesterol synthetic pathway. In addit...
متن کاملSREBP-2-deficient and hypomorphic mice reveal roles for SREBP-2 in embryonic development and SREBP-1c expression.
Cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthesis are regulated by the sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs), encoded by Srebf1 and Srebf2. We generated mice that were either deficient or hypomorphic for SREBP-2. SREBP-2 deficiency generally caused death during embryonic development. Analyses of Srebf2(-/-) embryos revealed a requirement for SREBP-2 in limb development and expression of mor...
متن کاملAcetyl-coenzyme A synthetase is a lipogenic enzyme controlled by SREBP-1 and energy status.
DNA microarray analysis on upregulated genes in the livers from transgenic mice overexpressing nuclear sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1a, identified an expressed sequence tag (EST) encoding a part of murine cytosolic acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase (ACAS). Northern blot analysis of the livers from transgenic mice demonstrated that this gene was highly induced by SREBP-1a, SREBP-...
متن کاملSREBP-2-driven transcriptional activation of human SND1 oncogene
Upregulation of Staphylococcal nuclease and tudor domain containing 1 (SND1) is linked to cancer progression and metastatic spread. Increasing evidence indicates that SND1 plays a role in lipid homeostasis. Recently, it has been shown that SND1-overexpressing hepatocellular carcinoma cells present an increased de novo cholesterol synthesis and cholesteryl ester accumulation. Here we reveal that...
متن کاملCholesterol-Independent SREBP-1 Maturation Is Linked to ARF1 Inactivation.
Lipogenesis requires coordinated expression of genes for fatty acid, phospholipid, and triglyceride synthesis. Transcription factors, such as SREBP-1 (Sterol regulatory element binding protein), may be activated in response to feedback mechanisms linking gene activation to levels of metabolites in the pathways. SREBPs can be regulated in response to membrane cholesterol and we also found that l...
