CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta and hepatocyte nuclear factor 3beta are necessary and sufficient to mediate dexamethasone-induced up-regulation of alpha2HS-glycoprotein/fetuin-A gene expression.
Alpha2HS-glycoprotein/fetuin-A (Ahsg) is a serum protein preventing soft tissue calcification. In trauma and inflammation, Ahsg is down-regulated and therefore considered a negative acute phase protein. Enhancement of Ahsg expression as a protective serum protein is desirable in several diseases including tissue remodelling after trauma and infection, kidney and heart failure, and cancer. Using...
متن کاملAllelic Imbalance of mRNA Associated with α2-HS Glycoprotein (Fetuin-A) Polymorphism
Alpha 2-HS glycoprotein (AHSG), also designated as fetuin-A, exhibits polymorphism in population genetics consisting of two major alleles of AHSG(∗) 1 and AHSG(∗) 2. The serum level in the AHSG(∗) 1 homozygote is significantly higher than that of the AHSG(∗) 2 homozygote. This study examined the molecular mechanism for the cis-regulatory expression. To quantitate allele-specific mRNA in intra-a...
متن کاملAdhesive-Independent Mechanisms Carcinoma Tumorigenesis via Adhesive-Dependent and The Serum Glycoprotein Fetuin-A Promotes Lewis Lung
Fetuin-A is a serum glycoprotein in the cystatin family associated with the regulation of soft tissue calcification. We tested the role of systemic fetuin in tumor cell growth and metastasis by injecting Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells into fetuin-A null and their wild-type (WT) littermate control C57BL/6 mice via the tail vein, s.c., and intrasplenic routes. In the experimental metastasis ass...

متن کاملFetuin a (AHSG) in Metabolic and Inflammatory Diseases: A Foe or A Friend
Fetuin A/AHSG was first isolated by Pedersen in 1944 from the fetal bovine serum. In adult humans, fetuin A is mainly secreted by the liver and the adipose tissue and it acts as an inhibitor of ectopic calcification. Fetuin A is also related to critical aspects of cardiometabolic health in humans such as insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis,...
