Wild-Type p53 Gene Expression Induces Granulocytic Differentiation
Overexpression of wild-type p53 gene in malignant cell iines has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation in a number of cases. However, endogenous p53 protein seems to play little role in normal cell-cycle control as suggested by the normal development of p53 null mice, and by the low p53 protein levels expressed in most cell types. Recently, increased expression of endogenous p53 protein has ...
متن کاملFolate receptor and human reduced folate carrier expression in HepG2 cell line exposed to fumonisin B1 and folate deficiency.
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) induces apoptosis and decreases the cellular uptake of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Two folate transporters (folate receptor, FR, and Reduced Folate Carrier, hRFC1) are involved in the cell uptake of folate. We aimed to study whether FB1 modifies the expression of the FR and the hRFC1 and whether its apoptotic effect is influenced by folate. Incubation of HepG2 cells with FB1 in...
متن کاملRole of reduced folate carrier in intestinal folate uptake.
Studies from our laboratory and others have characterized different aspects of the intestinal folate uptake process and have shown that the reduced folate carrier (RFC) is expressed in the gut and plays a role in the uptake process. Little, however, is known about the actual contribution of the RFC system toward total folate uptake by the enterocytes. Addressing this issue in RFC knockout mice ...
متن کاملReduced folate carrier gene expression in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: relationship to immunophenotype and ploidy.
Reduced folate carrier (RFC) transcripts in human leukemias were measured by a competitive PCR assay. Total RNAs were reverse transcribed and amplified in the presence of competitive templates for RFC and beta-actin. RFC transcripts were normalized to transcripts for beta-actin. In a series of K562 sublines, a approximately 30-fold range of RFC transcripts measured by PCR assay closely agreed w...
متن کاملTranscriptional repression by wild-type p53 utilizes histone deacetylases, mediated by interaction with mSin3a.
There is growing evidence that the p53 tumor suppressor protein not only can function to activate gene transcription but also to repress the expression of specific genes. Although recent studies have implicated the transcriptional repression function of p53 in the pathway of apoptosis, the molecular basis of this activity remains poorly understood. This study takes a first step toward elucidati...
