Imprinting of IGF2 P0 transcript and novel alternatively spliced INS-IGF2 isoforms show differences between mouse and human.
Genomic imprinting is limited to a subset of genes that play critical roles in fetal growth, development and behaviour. One of the most studied imprinted genes encodes insulin-like growth factor 2, and aberrant imprinting and DNA methylation of this gene is associated with the growth disorders Beckwith-Wiedemann and Silver-Russell syndromes and many human cancers. Specific isoforms of this gene...
متن کاملUpregulation of INS-IGF2 read-through expression and identification of a novel INS-IGF2 splice variant in insulinomas.
Fusion transcripts arising from the combination of exons residing on neighboring genes on the same chromosome may give rise to chimeric or novel proteins. Such read-through transcripts have been detected in different cancers where they may be of pathogenetic interest. In this study, we describe for the first time the expression of a read-through transcript in insulinomas, a functioning neuroend...
متن کاملlgf2 imprinting 145 Igf2 imprinting in development and disease
Igf2 is one of the first imprinted genes discovered and occupies a centre stage in the study of imprinting. This is because it has dramatic effects on the control of fetal growth, it is involved in growth disorders and in cancer, it interacts with products of other imprinted genes, and its imprinting status is under complex regulation in a cluster of tightly linked imprinted genes. Here we revi...
متن کاملFunctional Expression Study of Igf2 Antisense Transcript in Mouse
Insulin-like growth factor antisense gene (Igf2as) expression was investigated in different mouse tissues during development, in differentiating C2C12 cells and in a ΔDMR1-U2 knockout mouse model. The expression levels of Igf2as were high in fetal and newborn liver and muscle tissues compared to adults. The Igf2as gene was also expressed in placenta and in brain. The expression data suggests th...
متن کاملHumanized H19/Igf2 locus reveals diverged imprinting mechanism between mouse and human and reflects Silver-Russell syndrome phenotypes.
Genomic imprinting affects a subset of genes in mammals, such that they are expressed in a monoallelic, parent-of-origin-specific manner. These genes are regulated by imprinting control regions (ICRs), cis-regulatory elements that exhibit allele-specific differential DNA methylation. Although genomic imprinting is conserved in mammals, ICRs are genetically divergent across species. This raises ...
