Lipoproteins regulate expression of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) in mouse adrenocortical cells.
The steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) is required for the movement of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane, the site of cholesterol side chain cleavage. Here we describe a novel form of regulation of StAR gene expression in steroidogenic cells. Treatment of Y-1 BS1 adrenocortical cells with either low density lipoprotein (LDL) or high density lipoprotein (H...
متن کاملOxysterols regulate expression of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein.
The steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein promotes intramitochondrial delivery of cholesterol to the cholesterol side-chain cleavage system, which catalyzes the first enzymatic step in all steroid synthesis. Intriguingly, substrate cholesterol derived from lipoprotein can upregulate StAR gene expression. Moreover, substrate oxysterols have been suggested to also play a role. To investig...
متن کاملDiazinon interrupts ovarian steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) gene transcription in gonadotropin-stimulated rat model
Organophosphate pesticides are considered as endocrine disruptors that interfere with reproductive functions. The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine gland that produces progesterone, a crucial hormone for a successful beginning and maintenance of pregnancy. Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) facilitates the rate-limiting transfer of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial m...

متن کاملExpression analysis of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR) gene in developing porcine conceptuses.
Steroidogenesis in porcine non-conceptus tissue is regulated by the STAR-dependent transport of cholesterol from the outer to inner mitochondrial membrane. Previous serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) identified a STAR mRNA transcript in the porcine peri-implantation conceptus during trophectoderm elongation and increased conceptus estrogen synthesis between gestational day 11 and 12. To ...
