چکیده

Prolonged cold exposure induces nonshivering thermogenesis primarily through beta-adrenergic- and cAMP-mediated regulation of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) in brown adipose tissue. Molecular mechanisms involved in this induction of Ucp1 gene transcription consists of an intricate interplay between many nuclear receptors in coordination with coactivators/corepressors. Recently, it has been shown that members of the nuclear receptor-4A (NR4A) family of orphan nuclear receptors (Nur77, Nurr1, and NOR-1) are highly responsive to cAMP-second messenger pathways. Here we have identified a new regulatory motif in the Ucp1 promoter that binds NR4As to stimulate Ucp1 gene transcription. Upon cold exposure of mice, or beta-agonist treatment of mouse and human adipocytes, the expression of NR4A nuclear receptors is rapidly induced, with NOR-1 being the most robust, and this precedes increases in Ucp1 expression. A dominant-negative mutant Nur-77 receptor that prevents the transcriptional activity of NR4A receptors blocked beta-adrenergic receptor-stimulated Ucp1 gene transcription. By gel shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we defined the sequence (-5.64 kb) in the Ucp1 promoter to which NOR-1 binds. In transient reporter assays, this element significantly augments the activity of a 3.7-kb Ucp1 promoter. These results extend our understanding of the combinatorial complexity in the signaling pathways that control this tissue-specific gene.

Activation of nuclear orphan receptor NURR1 transcription by NF-kappa B and cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate response element-binding protein in rheumatoid arthritis synovial tissue.

Modulation of the NURR subfamily of nuclear receptors may be an important mechanism regulating pathways associated with inflammatory joint disease. We examined the signaling mechanisms through which inflammatory mediators, produced by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial tissue, contribute to the regulation of the NURR subfamily. Markedly enhanced expression of NURR1 is observed in synovial tissu...

Regulation of c-jun gene expression by cAMP in HL-60 myeloid leukemia cells.

Previous studies have demonstrated that expression of the c-jun proto-oncogene is induced by phorbol esters and other agents that activate protein kinase C. The present work has examined the involvement of cAMP-dependent signaling mechanisms in the regulation of c-jun gene expression. Low levels of c-jun transcripts were detectable in untreated HL-60 myeloid leukemia cells. In contrast, treatme...

Regulation of jun-B expression by a cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent mechanism in human myeloid cells.

The present studies have examined the regulation of the jun-B early response gene by cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent signaling pathways. The 2.0-kb jun-B transcript was at low but detectable levels in uninduced human HL-60 myeloid leukemia cells. In contrast, treatment with 1 mmol/L8-bromo-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP) in the presence of isobutylmethylxanthine, an inhibitor of cA...

Parathyroid hormone enhances bone morphogenetic protein activity by increasing intracellular 3', 5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate accumulation in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.

Intermittent subcutaneous injections of parathyroid hormone (PTH) increase bone mass in a variety of animal models and humans. The anabolic actions of PTH on osteogenic cells are mainly mediated through the protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway via PTH receptor 1 (PTHR1). We have already reported 3', 5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/PKA-mediated enhancement of bone morphogenetic prot...
