Transcriptional regulation of the claudin-16 gene by Mg2+ availability.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Renal tubular Mg(2+) reabsorption is mediated predominantly by the tight junction channel protein claudin-16 which is encoded by the gene CLDN16. Hypermagnesemia decreases, whereas hypomagnesemia increases Mg(2+) reabsorption. This study examines the role of claudin-16 in the adaptive response of the kidney to Mg(2+) availability. METHODS/RESULTS Mice received a low-, normal- ...
متن کاملThe erg gene: a human gene related to the ets oncogene.
We have isolated a cDNA clone representing the complete coding sequence of a human gene named erg, related to the ets oncogene. Nucleotide sequence analysis of this cDNA (4.6 kilobases long) revealed that this gene encodes a 363-residue protein whose predicted amino acid sequence showed a homology of approximately equal to 40% and approximately equal to 70% to two domains corresponding to the 5...
متن کاملAntiinflammatory effects of the ETS factor ERG in endothelial cells are mediated through transcriptional repression of the interleukin-8 gene.
ERG (Ets-related gene) is an ETS transcription factor that has recently been shown to regulate a number of endothelial cell (EC)-restricted genes including VE-cadherin, von Willebrand factor, endoglin, and intercellular adhesion molecule-2. Our preliminary data demonstrate that unlike other ETS factors, ERG exhibits a highly EC-restricted pattern of expression in cultured primary cells and seve...
متن کاملSOX-18 controls endothelial-specific claudin-5 gene expression and barrier function.
Members of the claudin family constitute tight junction strands and are major determinants in specificity and selectivity of paracellular barriers. Transcriptional control of claudin gene expression is essential to establish individual claudin expression patterns and barrier properties. Using full genome expression profiling, we now identify sex-determining region Y-box (SOX)-18, a member of th...
متن کاملEndothelial cell gene regulation.
Endothelial cells (ECs) display phenotypic heterogeneity. Endothelial cell heterogeneity is mediated, at least in part, by site-specific and time-dependent differences in gene transcription. The goal of this review is to provide a conceptual framework for approaching EC gene regulation in the adult vasculature. We summarize data from cell culture studies that provide insight into the transcript...
