Upstream stimulatory factors, USF1 and USF2, bind to the human haem oxygenase-1 proximal promoter in vivo and regulate its transcription.
The human HO-1 (haem oxygenase-1) gene encodes a microsomal enzyme responsible for the breakdown of haem, and is also cytoprotective in response to various cellular insults. HO-1 transcription is induced by a vast array of compounds including, but certainly not limited to, haem and heavy metals such as cadmium. In the present study, we show that upstream stimulatory factors, USF1 and USF2, ubiq...
متن کاملTargeting lipogenesis in the treatment of metabolic diseases and cancer
Lipogenesis must be regulated tightly to meet metabolic needs according to nutritional status. During fasting, fatty acid synthesis is virtually absent mainly due to increased glucagon/cAMP signaling [1]. In contrast, during feeding, fatty acid synthesis mainly in liver increases drastically, especially when the diet is carbohydrate rich, as glucose utilization and glycolysis increase [2]. Incr...
متن کاملSuppression of fatty acid synthase promoter by polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Dietary polyunsaturated fat is known to suppress expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS), a central enzyme in de novo lipogenesis. The sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) has recently been shown to be involved in this suppression. We previously reported that the first 2.1 kb of the FAS promoter are sufficient for transcriptional induction by a high carbohydrate diet as well as sup...
متن کاملTranscription factors acting on the promoter of the rat fatty acid synthase gene.
Fatty acid synthase (FAS), one of the main lipogenic enzymes, converts dietary calories into a storage form of energy. The transcription factors, stimulatory proteins 1 and 3 (Sp1 and Sp3), nuclear factor Y (NF-Y), upstream stimulatory factor (USF) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) have cognate binding sites on the promoter of the FAS gene. It was shown that Sp1 and NF-Y...
متن کاملUpstream stimulatory factors mediate estrogen receptor activation of the cathepsin D promoter.
Overexpression of cathepsin D (CD), a ubiquitous lysosomal protease, is closely associated with a poor clinical outcome for patients with breast cancer. Estrogen greatly induces transcription of the CD gene in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cells. In this report, we transiently introduced a human CD promoter/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene into human MCF-7 breast ...
