Transcriptional effects of metal ions on the bovine oxytocin and the thymidine kinase-ERE promoter through the estrogen receptor a in MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cell line
BACKGROUND: Some of metal ions as environmental pollutants show estrogenic activity. This xenostrogenic compounds can be caused carcinogenicity in organs. The mechanism of carcinogenicity of metal ions is not clarified. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we investigated the Transcriptional effects of variety of metal ions on the bovine oxytocin and the thymidine kinase-ERE promoter by estrogen receptor...
متن کاملDifferential hormone-dependent transcriptional activation and -repression by naturally occurring human glucocorticoid receptor variants.
The molecular mechanisms underlying primary glucocorticoid resistance or hypersensitivity are not well understood. Using transfected COS-1 cells as a model system, we studied gene regulation by naturally occurring mutants of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) with single-point mutations in the regions encoding the ligand-binding domain or the N-terminal domain reflecting different phenotypic expr...
متن کاملVitamin B6 modulates transcriptional activation by multiple members of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily.
Recent studies have shown that vitamin B6 modulates transcriptional activation by the human glucocorticoid receptor in HeLa S3 cells. We have now examined the possibility that vitamin B6 might similarly influence transcriptional activation by the glucocorticoid receptor in other cell types, as well as gene expression mediated by other members of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily. We show...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the rat apelin receptor gene: promoter cloning and identification of an Sp1 site necessary for promoter activity.
The genomic structure and transcriptional regulation of the rat apelin receptor (APJR) were analysed by rapid amplification of 5' cDNA ends (5'-RACE), transient expression assays and DNA-protein interaction. Analysis of the 5'-flanking region of a rat genomic clone shows no TATA box, but a putative CAAT box and several putative binding sites for transcription factors are present. Two transcript...
متن کاملThe glucocorticoid receptor blocks P-TEFb recruitment by NF B to effect promoter-specific transcriptional repression
To investigate the determinants of promoter-specific gene regulation by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), we compared the composition and function of regulatory complexes at two NF B-responsive genes that are differentially regulated by GR. Transcription of the IL-8 and I B genes is stimulated by TNF in A549 cells, but GR selectively represses IL-8 mRNA synthesis by inhibiting Ser2 phosphorylat...
