RT-PCR MEDIATED CLONING OF HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE GENE AND I TS EXPRESSION IN E. coli
Human growth hormone (hGH) genomic sequence containing 5 exons and 4 introns was cloned in pcDNA-3 and the constructed plasmid was subsequently used for transfection ofNlli-3T3 cell line using lipofection technique. Expression of hGH in stably transfected cells was assayed using ELISA. Total RNA was extracted from transfected cells and hGH cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR using specific primers...
متن کاملPituitary-specific expression and Pit-1 regulation of the rat growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor gene.
The GHRH receptor is expressed in the somatotroph cell of the anterior pituitary, where it functions to mediate GHRH-stimulated GH release. To study pituitary and somatotroph cell-specific expression of this gene, a transgenic mouse model and complementary cell culture experiments were developed. The activity of the 1.6-kb proximal rat GHRH receptor promoter was examined in vivo by generating t...
متن کاملSynergism of glucocorticoid hormone with growth hormone for female-specific mouse Cyp3a44 gene expression.
CYP3A44 and CYP3A41 are female-specific CYP3A in the mouse liver. In primary cultured mouse hepatocytes, dexamethasone concentration-dependently induced CYP3A44 mRNA, and the highest response was seen at 10(-5) M. In contrast, CYP3A41 mRNA expression was highest at lower concentrations (10(-7) or 10(-6) M). At submicromolar concentration (10(-7) M), the induction of CYP3A44 mRNA was very slight...
متن کاملPlasma growth hormone pulse activation of hepatic JAK-STAT5 signaling: developmental regulation and role in male-specific liver gene expression.
The intracellular signaling molecule STAT5 is activated in rat liver by the intermittent male plasma GH pattern to a 10-fold higher level than by the more continuous pattern of plasma GH stimulation seen in females. Individual adult male rats are presently shown to exhibit large differences in liver STAT5 DNA-binding activity, which correlates with the presence of significant levels of GH in pl...
متن کاملSex-specific early growth hormone response genes in rat liver.
Pituitary GH-secretory profiles are sex dependent and regulate the sexually dimorphic expression of a large number of genes in the liver. The slow response of many sex-specific liver genes to changes in plasma GH status suggests that GH acts in the liver via both direct and indirect mechanisms organized in a hierarchical regulatory network. Presently, genome-wide liver transcription profiling w...
