Transcription Factor STOX1A Promotes Mitotic Entry by Binding to the CCNB1 Promotor

چکیده
BACKGROUND In this study we investigated the involvement of the transcription factor STOX1A in the regulation of the cell cycle. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We found that several major cell cycle regulatory genes were differentially expressed upon STOX1A stimulation and knockdown in the neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y. This includes STOX1A dependent differential regulation of cyclin B1 expression, a cyclin which is known to regulate mitotic entry during the cell cycle. The differential regulation of cyclin B1 expression by STOX1A is direct as shown with chromatin immunoprecipitation. Results furthermore suggest that mitotic entry is enhanced through the direct upregulation of cyclin B1 expression effectuated by STOX1A. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion we hereby show that STOX1A is directly involved in the regulation of the cell cycle.

BACKGROUND In this study, we performed a genome-wide search for effector genes bound by STOX1A, a winged helix transcription factor recently demonstrated to be involved in late onset Alzheimer's disease and affecting the amyloid processing pathway. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Our results show that out of 218 genes bound by STOX1A as identified by chromatin-immunoprecipitation followed by s...

Background: ATP-binding cassette membrane transporter G2 (ABCG2) gene is one of transporter family and well characterized for their association with chemoresistance. Promoter methylation is a mechanism for regulation of gene expression. O6-Methyl guanine DNA methyl transferase (MGMT) gene plays a fundamental role in DNA repair. MGMT has the ability to remove alkyl adducts from DNA at the O6 pos...
متن کاملDirect downregulation of CNTNAP2 by STOX1A is associated with Alzheimer's disease.
STOX1A is a transcription factor which is functionally and structurally similar to the forkhead box protein family. STOX1A has been shown to be associated with pre-eclampsia, a pregnancy associated disease, and to have potential implications in late onset Alzheimer's disease. However, the exact function of STOX1A and its target genes are still largely unknown. Therefore, in this study we perfor...
متن کاملA nontranscriptional role for Oct4 in the regulation of mitotic entry.
Rapid progression through the cell cycle and a very short G1 phase are defining characteristics of embryonic stem cells. This distinct cell cycle is driven by a positive feedback loop involving Rb inactivation and reduced oscillations of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) activity. In this setting, we inquired how ES cells avoid the potentially deleterious consequences of premature mitot...
متن کاملISL1, a novel regulator of CCNB1, CCNB2 and c-MYC genes, promotes gastric cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth
Islet-1 (ISL1) belongs to the LIM homeodomain transcription factor family, which is specifically expressed in certain tissue types only. Previously, we reported that ISL1 is aberrantly overexpressed in gastric cancer (GC). However, its role in GC is not clear. Here, we report that ISL1 is aberrantly upregulated not only in human gastric carcinoma tissues but also in some GC cell lines. Upregula...
