Developmental and pharmacological regulation of apolipoprotein C-II gene expression. Comparison with apo C-I and apo C-III gene regulation.
Increased plasma triglyceride concentrations are often observed in metabolic disorders predisposing to coronary heart disease. Among the major determinants of plasma triglyceride metabolism are the apolipoproteins (apos) of the C class, C-I, C-II, and C-III. Whereas physiological concentrations of apo C-II are required for lipolysis of triglycerides by lipoprotein lipase (LPL), overexpression o...
متن کاملTissue-specific expression and developmental regulation of the rat apolipoprotein B gene.
Expression of the apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene was examined in a variety of fetal, neonatal, and adult rat tissues by probing RNA blots with a cloned rat apoB cDNA. Among 10 adult male tissues surveyed, small intestine had the highest concentration of apoB mRNA. Its abundance in liver and adrenal gland was 40% and 0.5%, respectively, of that in small bowel, while none was detected in colon, kid...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of globin gene expression.
We have used the globin family of genes in chicken to study developmental regulation of gene expression, both at the level of individual interaction of trans-acting factors with local promoters and enhancers, and at the level of chromatin structure. Regulation of all members of the alpha- and beta-globin clusters is affected by the erythroid regulatory factor GATA-1. Separate mechanisms exist f...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of trypanosome mitochondrial gene expression.
Mitochondrial respiratory activities in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei are developmentally regulated. The trypanosomes in the mammalian bloodstream derive ATP entirely from glycolysis. The trypanosomes found in the midgut of the insect vector or in culture at 26 degrees C have fully functional mitochondria with cytochrome-mediated respiration. In this paper, we show that the steady s...
متن کاملOpposite in vitro and in vivo regulation of hepatic apolipoprotein A-I gene expression by retinoic acid. Absence of effects on apolipoprotein A-II gene expression.
We studied the pharmacological potential of retinoids to modulate apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and apoA-II gene expression and production in vitro in the human cell line HepG2 as well as in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes and in vivo in the rat. In HepG2 cells, addition of all-trans retinoic acid (RA) doubled apoA-I mRNA within 24 hours and protein secreted in the culture medium after 48 ...
