Mineralocorticoid receptor splice variants in different human tissues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a member of the steroid receptor family, acts as a transcription factor and mediates both aldosterone and cortisol effects. Aldosterone specificity in some tissues results from the inactivation of competing cortisol into cortisone by 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. In other tissues MR and the glucocorticoid receptor show overlapping physiological effects or may act together by forming a heterodimer. An additional MR splice variant (MR+4) has been found in different mRNA samples from rat tissues and human white blood cells, thereby implying additional modes of MR-regulated effects. We therefore looked for the presence of these two MR-mRNA isoforms in human classical aldosterone target tissues and various other tissues. MR-mRNA was found in all samples investigated, thereby showing the expression of MR to be more abundant than has been observed thus far. In addition, the MR+4-mRNA variant was also found in all the tissues examined.

Introduction: Leukemia is a heterogeneous malignant disease in which progression at the level of CD34+ cells has a major impact in drug resistance and relapse. The multi-drug resistance gene product, P-glycoprotein is an inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), such as Survivin that are expressed simultaneously with several putative drug resistance parameters in CD34+ leukemia cells. In fact, IA...

The receptor for advanced glycosylation end products (RAGE) is a multiligand receptor involved in diverse cell signaling pathways. Previous studies show that this gene expresses several splice variants in human, mouse, and dog. Alternative splicing (AS) plays an important role in expanding transcriptomic and proteomic diversity, and it has been related to disease. AS is also one of the main evo...
