Human fetal globin gene expression is regulated by LYAR
Human globin gene expression during development is modulated by transcription factors in a stage-dependent manner. However, the mechanisms controlling the process are still largely unknown. In this study, we found that a nuclear protein, LYAR (human homologue of mouse Ly-1 antibody reactive clone) directly interacted with the methyltransferase PRMT5 which triggers the histone H4 Arg3 symmetric ...
متن کاملSpreading depression-induced gene expression is regulated by plasma glucose.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Plasma glucose and spreading depression (SD) are both determinants of brain ischemia. The purpose of this study was to examine whether plasma glucose affects SD-induced gene expression in the cortex. METHODS SD was induced by topical application of KCl. Hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia were induced by intraperitoneal injection of glucose and insulin, respectively. The exp...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
متن کاملTime-dependent and tissue-specific effects of circulating glucose on fetal ovine glucose transporters.
To determine the cellular adaptations to fetal hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, we examined the time-dependent effects on basal (GLUT-1 and GLUT-3) and insulin-responsive (GLUT-4) glucose transporter proteins by quantitative Western blot analysis in fetal ovine insulin-insensitive (brain and liver) and insulin-sensitive (myocardium, skeletal muscle, and adipose) tissues. Maternal glucose infusio...
متن کاملProstacyclin synthesis in ovine pulmonary artery is developmentally regulated by changes in cyclooxygenase-1 gene expression.
Prostacyclin (PGI2) is a key mediator of pulmonary vasomotor tone during late gestation and in the newborn, and its production in whole lung increases during that period. We investigated the developmental regulation of PGI2 synthesis in ovine intrapulmonary artery (PA) segments from 110 to 115 d (F1) and 125 to 135 d gestation fetal lambs (F2, term = 144 d) and 1- and 4-wk-old newborn lambs (NB...
