Insulin activates human sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) promoter through SRE motifs.
In the present study, we aimed to decipher the mechanisms involved in the transcriptional effect of insulin on the SREBP-1c specific promoter of the human srebf-1 gene. Using luciferase reporter gene constructs in HEK-293 cells (human embryonic kidney cells), we demonstrated that the full effect of insulin requires the presence of SREs (sterol response elements) in the proximal region of the pr...
متن کاملInsulin effects on sterol regulatory-element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) transcriptional activity in rat hepatocytes.
The transcription factor sterol regulatory-element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) plays a major role in the effect of insulin on the transcription of hepatic genes such as glucokinase and fatty acid synthase. We show here in cultured rat hepatocytes that insulin, through activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway increases the abundance of the precursor form of SREBP-1c in endoplasm...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of human SREBP-1c (sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein-1c): a key regulator of lipogenesis.
Sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) is one member of the family of transcription factors that stimulate sterol and fatty-acid biosynthesis in animal cells. Human SREBP-1c, mapped to chromosome 17p11.2, is expressed in liver, intestine, skeletal muscle and adipocytes. A section of genomic sequence from a chromosome 17 library, thought to contain the SREBP-1c promoter, was clo...
متن کاملRegulation of GLUT4 gene expression by SREBP-1c in adipocytes.
Expression of the GLUT4 (glucose transporter type 4 isoform) gene in adipocytes is subject to hormonal or metabolic control. In the present study, we have characterized an adipose tissue transcription factor that is influenced by fasting/refeeding regimens and insulin. Northern blotting showed that refeeding increased GLUT4 mRNA levels for 24 h in adipose tissue. Consistent with an increased GL...
متن کاملSterol-regulatory-element-binding protein 1c mediates insulin action on hepatic gene expression.
Effects of insulin on the expression of liver-specific genes are part of the adaptive mechanisms aimed at maintaining energy homeostasis in mammals. When the diet is rich in carbohydrates, secreted insulin stimulates the expression of genes for enzymes involved in glucose utilization (glucokinase, L-type pyruvate kinase and lipogenic enzymes) and inhibits genes for enzymes involved in glucose p...
