Distinct E2F-mediated transcriptional program regulates p14ARF gene expression.
The tumor suppressor p14(ARF) gene is induced by ectopically expressed E2F, a positive regulator of the cell cycle. The gene is expressed at low levels in normally growing cells in contrast to high levels in varieties of tumors. How p14(ARF) gene is regulated by E2F in normally growing cells and tumor cells remains obscure. Here we show that regulation of p14(ARF) gene by E2F is distinct from t...
متن کاملMBD2-mediated transcriptional repression of the p14ARF tumor suppressor gene in human colon cancer cells.
OBJECTIVE The p14(ARF) and p16(INK4A) tumor suppressor genes are commonly inactivated by aberrant methylation of their promoter regions in human colon cancer. The methyl-CpG-binding domain protein MBD2 is physically associated with the methylated promoters of the p14(ARF) and p16(INK4A) genes in specific tumor cell lines. Moreover, deficiency of MBD2 strongly inhibits intestinal tumorigenesis i...
متن کاملE2F-1 Directly Regulates Thrombospondin 1 Expression
Thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) has been shown to play a critical role in inhibiting angiogenesis, resulting in inhibition of tumor growth and metastases. To figure out TSP1's regulators will lead to reveal its biological function mechanistically. In this study, we show that E2F-1 could activate the transcription of TSP1 by both promoter assays and Northern blot. Analysis of various TSP1 promoter mutan...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of E2F-1-mediated transcriptional regulation in vivo.
Targeted therapies directed against individual cancer-specific molecular alterations offer the development of disease-specific and individualized treatment strategies. Activation of the transcription factor E2F-1 via alteration of the p16-cyclinD-Rb pathway is one of the key molecular events in the development of gliomas. E2F-1 binds to and activates the E2F-1 promoter in an autoregulatory mann...
متن کاملCalcium dynamics and resting transcriptional activity regulates prolactin gene expression.
Research on the regulation of hormone gene expression by calcium signaling is hampered by the difficulty of monitoring both parameters within the same individual, living cells. Here we achieved concurrent, dynamic measurements of both intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and prolactin (PRL) gene promoter activity in single, living pituitary cells. Cells were transfected with the luc...
