Serum response elements activate and cAMP responsive elements inhibit expression of transcription factor Egr-1 in synovial fibroblasts of rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Analyzing the induction kinetics and promoter elements regulating the expression of the transcription factor Egr-1, we found elevated levels of Egr-1-encoding mRNA in synovial fibroblasts of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients when compared to controls. By contrast, synovial lymphocytes and macrophages do not show an elevated Egr-1 transcription. Therefore, the overexpression of Egr-1 may serve ...
متن کاملv-Fps-responsiveness in the Egr-1 promoter is mediated by serum response elements.
Egr-1, a mitogen-responsive transcription factor, is rapidly induced by v-Fps in the absence of protein synthesis. Thus, Egr-1 is a primary response to the protein-tyrosine kinase activity of v-Fps. To determine the v-Fps-responsive elements in the Egr-1 promoter, deletion mutants of the Egr-1 promoter were used in transient expression assays. A v-Fps expression vector was contransfected into N...
متن کاملSuppression of Egr-1 transcription through targeting of the serum response factor by oncogenic H-Ras.
The transcription factor Egr-1 functions as a key regulator in cellular growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. The loss of Egr-1 expression is closely associated with tumor development, although the molecular mechanism behind the suppression of Egr-1 is largely unknown. In this report, we show that growth factor-induced transcriptional activation of Egr-1 gene is downregulated by chronic expre...
متن کاملThe transcription factor early growth response factor-1 (EGR-1) promotes apoptosis of neuroblastoma cells.
Early growth response factor-1 (EGR-1) is an immediate early gene, which is rapidly activated in quiescent cells by mitogens or in postmitotic neurons after depolarization. EGR-1 has been involved in diverse biological functions such as cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. Here we report that enforced expression of the EGR-1 gene induces apoptosis, as determined by flow cytometry and ter...
متن کاملThe zinc finger transcription factor Egr-1 activates macrophage differentiation in M1 myeloblastic leukemia cells.
We previously have shown that the zinc finger transcription factor Egr-1 blocked granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells, restricting differentiation along the monocytic lineage. Egr-1 also was observed to block granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced differentiation of interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent 32Dcl3 hematopoietic precursor cells, endowing the cells with the ability to ...
