Induction of the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) gene in C6 glioblastoma cells: functional analysis of the PLP promotor.
The terminal differentiation of postmitotic oligodendrocytes is marked by the induction of myelin-specific genes. In this report, we demonstrate that culture conditions that induce oligodendrocyte differentiation of glial progenitor cells also induce differentiation of C6 glioblastoma cells, as monitored by activated transcription of the gene encoding proteolipid protein (PLP), the major myelin...
متن کاملMutation of the proteolipid protein gene PLP in a human X chromosome-linked myelin disorder.
Myelin is a highly specialized membrane unique to the nervous system that ensheaths axons to permit the rapid saltatory conduction of impulses. The elaboration of a compact myelin sheath is disrupted in a diverse spectrum of human disorders, many of which are of unknown etiology. The X chromosome-linked human disorder Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease is a clinically and pathologically heterogeneous...
متن کاملMyelin basic protein is affected by reduced synthesis of myelin proteolipid protein in the jimpy mouse.
Myelin basic proteins (MBPs) from 6-day-old, 10-day-old, 20-day-old and adult normal mouse brain were compared with those from 20-day-old jimpy (dysmyelinating mutant) mouse brain to determine the effect of reduced levels of proteolipid protein (PLP) on MBPs. Alkaline-urea-gel electrophoresis showed that 6-day-old and 10-day-old normal and jimpy MBPs lacked charge microheterogeneity, since C8 (...
متن کاملYY1 negatively regulates mouse myelin proteolipid protein (Plp1) gene expression in oligodendroglial cells
YY1 (Yin and Yang 1) is a multifunctional, ubiquitously expressed, zinc finger protein that can act as a transcriptional activator, repressor, or initiator element binding protein. Previous studies have shown that YY1 modulates the activity of reporter genes driven by the myelin PLP (proteolipid protein) (PLP1/Plp1) promoter. However, it is known that Plp1 intron 1 DNA contains regulatory eleme...
متن کاملc-rel regulation of IL-2 gene expression may be mediated through activation of AP-1
T cell activation by antigen/MHC induces the expression of several genes critical to the immune response, including interleukin-2. T cells from mice deficient for the NF-kappa B family member c-rel cannot activate IL-2 gene expression. However, mutating the NF-kappa B site in the IL-2 promoter has only moderate effects. To investigate additional ways c-Rel could regulate IL-2 gene expression, w...
