Transcription factor decoy.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of altered gene expression in disease pathophysiology. Thus, modification of gene expression has emerged as an important therapeutic strategy.1 Agents that inhibit the transcription of disease-mediating genes or transactivate the expression of genes whose products disrupt pathophysiological processes are being developed. Regulation of gene expre...
متن کاملTranscription factor decoy against NFATc1 in human primary osteoblasts.
The present study describes, for the first time, the removal of the nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) by a decoy approach in human primary osteoblasts (hOBs). hOBs with different NFATc1 expression levels were used. The functionality of endogenous NFAT proteins in our experimental model was analyzed by monitoring the transcriptional activity on a luciferase reporter cons...
متن کاملAssessing transcription factor motif drift from noisy decoy sequences.
Genome scale identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) is fundamental to understanding the complexities of mRNA expression at both the cell and organismal levels. While high-throughput experimental methods provide associations between transcription factors and the genes they regulate under a specified experimental condition, computational methods are still required to pinpoint...
متن کاملAnti-cancer effects of the combined treatment of trastuzumab and decoy oligodeoxynucleotides to target STAT3 transcription factor on SK-BR-3 breast cancer cell line
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in the female population and is the leading cause of death. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and monoclonal antibody (trastuzumab) therapy are common and standard treatments for this cancer. However, there are significant limitations in the treatment of this disease by using regular methods. Given the role of transcription factors (T...
متن کاملA regulatory role for repeated decoy transcription factor binding sites in target gene expression
Tandem repeats of DNA that contain transcription factor (TF) binding sites could serve as decoys, competitively binding to TFs and affecting target gene expression. Using a synthetic system in budding yeast, we demonstrate that repeated decoy sites inhibit gene expression by sequestering a transcriptional activator and converting the graded dose-response of target promoters to a sharper, sigmoi...
