Modulation of Human Luteinizing Hormone Gene Transcription by MIP-2A*

چکیده
MIP-2A was recently identified as a MBP-1 interacting cellular protein. We have shown previously that MBP-1 acts as a transcriptional repressor. Functional association between MIP-2A and MBP-1 suggests that MIP-2A can act as a cofactor and relieves MBP-1-mediated transcriptional repression. In this study, we report the tissue-specific expression of MIP-2A and its role in the regulation of gene transcription. RNA dot blot analysis of human multiple tissue expression array suggested that MIP-2A is highly abundant in right cerebellum, pituitary, adrenal, and testis but barely detectable in skeletal muscle. Predominant expression of MIP-2A in pituitary tissue led us to investigate whether MIP-2A can transcriptionally regulate luteinizing hormone (LH ), a pituitary-specific hormone synthesized and secreted from gonadotropic cells. The LH promoter is regulated by the orphan nuclear receptor SF-1 and homeodomain protein Ptx1. Although each factor enhances the LH promoter, coexpression of both results in a strong synergistic activation. Therefore, we examined whether MIP-2A can modulate SF-1and Ptx1-mediated transcriptional activation. Our results suggested that MIP-2A expression inhibits SF-1and Ptx1-mediated transactivation of LH promoter. Subsequent analysis demonstrated that MIP-2A physically interacts with both SF-1 and Ptx1, thereby inhibiting transactivation of the LH promoter. Taken together, our results indicate that MIP-2A preferentially expresses in certain tissues, including the pituitary gland, and negatively regulates the LH gene transcription.

Background Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein composed of alpha and beta subunits.This hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland. LH, in women triggers Menstrual cycle and ovulation. In men, LH stimulates production of testosterone, which plays a specialized role in sperm production. Up to day, LH hormone have produced in different ways such as codon optimization and al...

We initially identified c-myc promoter-binding protein 1 (MBP-1) from a human cervical carcinoma cell expression library which negatively regulates c-myc promoter activity. A recent study demonstrated that MBP-1 acts as a general transcriptional repressor (A. K. Ghosh, R. Steele, and R. B. Ray, Mol. Cell. Biol. 19:2880-2886, 1999). In order to identify the cellular protein(s) interacting with M...

Our previous studies demonstrated that the histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA), induces derepression of the human luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) gene by de-recruitment of the pRB homologue p107 repressor from the promoter in JAR and MCF-7 cancer cells. TSA initiates a mechanism whereby the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase zeta (PKCzeta) cascade phosphorylates Sp1...
