Regulation of insulin gene transcription by the immediate-early growth response gene Egr-1.
Changes in extracellular glucose levels regulate the expression of the immediate-early response gene and zinc finger transcription factor early growth response-1 (Egr-1) in insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells, but key target genes of Egr-1 in the endocrine pancreas have not been identified. We found that overexpression of Egr-1 in clonal (INS-1) beta-cells increased transcriptional activati...
متن کاملEgr-1 transactivates Bim gene expression to promote neuronal apoptosis.
The proapoptotic BH3-only protein Bim is a crucial regulator of neuronal apoptosis. Previous studies have indicated the involvement of the c-Jun, FOXO1/3a, and B/C-Myb transcription factors in the regulation of Bim during neuronal apoptosis. However, the mechanism underlying the transcriptional regulation of Bim in activity deprivation-induced neuronal apoptosis has remained unclear. The presen...
متن کاملEXPRESSION OF INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE (iNOS) STIMULATED BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expresses a calcium calmudolin-independent enzyme which can catalyse NO production from L-arginine. The induction of iNOS activity has been demonstrated in a wide variety of cell types under stimulation with cytokines and lipopoly saccharide (LPS). Previous studies indicated that all nitric oxide synthases (NOS) activated in human umbilical vein endot...
متن کاملRegulation of EGR-1, c-jun, and c-myc gene expression by oncostatin M.
Oncostatin M (OM) is a cytokine that shares a structural and functional relationship with interleukin 6, leukemia-inhibitory factor, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. In this report, we tested for correlations between immediate-early gene expression and some of the cellular responses elicited by OM. We determined that OM stimulated a rapid and transient elevation of EGR-1, c-jun, and c...
متن کاملHigh-level expression of Egr-1 and Egr-1-inducible genes in mouse and human atherosclerosis.
To understand the mRNA transcript profile in the human atherosclerotic lesion, RNA was prepared from the fibrous cap versus adjacent media of 13 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. cDNA expression arrays bearing 588 known genes indicated that lesions express unexpectedly high levels of the early growth response gene, Egr-1 (NGFI-A), a zinc-finger transcription factor that modulates a cl...
