Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha (HNF-1alpha) have been linked to subtype 3 of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3), which is characterized by a primary defect in insulin secretion. The role of HNF-1alpha in the regulation of pancreatic beta-cell function was investigated. Gene manipulation allowed graded overexpression of HNF-1alpha and controlled dominant-negative sup...
The machinery of eukaryotic protein synthesis is found in association with the actin cytoskeleton. A major component of this translational apparatus, which is involved in the shuttling of aa-tRNA, is the actin-binding protein elongation factor 1alpha (EF-1alpha). To investigate the consequences for translation of the interaction of EF-1alpha with F-actin, we have studied the effect of F-actin o...
BACKGROUND Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) plays an essential role in oxygen homeostasis. The expression of HIF-1alpha-inducible genes is associated with tumor progression. p21 mediates cell cycle arrest and is one of the downstream genes targeted by HIF-1. PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined the relationship between HIF-1alpha and p21 expression, apoptosis and tumor progression usi...
The SDF-1alpha/CXCR4 ligand/chemokine receptor pair is required for appropriate patterning during ontogeny and stimulates the growth and differentiation of critical cell types. Here, we demonstrate SDF-1alpha and CXCR4 expression in fetal pancreas. We have found that SDF-1alpha and its receptor CXCR4 are expressed in islets, also CXCR4 is expressed in and around the proliferating duct epitheliu...
In eukaryotes, cellular and systemic metabolism is primarily controlled by mitochondrial activity. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is an important regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and function. Furthermore, PGC-1alpha controls many of the phenotypic adaptations of oxidative tissues to external and internal perturbations. By contrast, dys...
Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal, dominantly inherited disorder caused by polyglutamine repeat expansion in the huntingtin (htt) gene. Here, we observe that HD mice develop hypothermia associated with impaired activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT). Although sympathetic stimulation of PPARgamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) was intact in BAT of HD mice, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1) indu...
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) controls the expression of most genes induced by hypoxic conditions. Regulation of expression and activity of its inducible subunit, HIF-1alpha, involves several post-translational modifications. To study HIF-1alpha phosphorylation, we have used human full-length recombinant HIF-1alpha as a substrate in kinase assays. We show that at least two different nuclea...
The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway is commonly activated in cancer; therefore, we investigated its role in hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) regulation. Inhibition of PI3K in U87MG glioblastoma cells, which have activated PI3K/Akt activity secondary to phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) mutation, with LY294002 blunted the induction of HIF-1...
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by fasting hyperglycemia, secondary to hepatic insulin resistance and increased glucose production. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a transcriptional coactivator that is thought to control adaptive responses to physiological stimuli. In liver, PGC-1alpha expression is induced by fasting, and this effect promote...
BACKGROUND Survivin is a structurally and functionally unique member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family. It plays an important role, not only in regulating mitosis but also in inhibiting apoptosis. The current literature contains few reports on the transcriptional regulation of survivin expression in lung cancer. METHODS In this study, we investigated the effect of hypoxia-ind...
