Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K represses transcription from a cytosine/thymidine-rich element in the osteocalcin promoter.
HnRNP K (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K) was biochemically purified from a screen of proteins co-purifying with binding activity to the osteocalcin promoter. We identify hnRNP K as a novel repressor of osteocalcin gene transcription. Overexpression of hnRNP K lowers the expression of osteocalcin mRNA by 5-fold. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assays demonstrate that overexpression o...
متن کاملGrowth factors regulate heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K expression and function.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of growth factors and their receptors regulate normal and cancerous epithelial cell proliferation, a process that can be suppressed by antireceptor blocking antibodies. To identify genes whose expression may be modulated by antireceptor blocking antibodies, we performed a differential display screen with cells grown in the presence or absence of antireceptor...
متن کاملHeterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K is a novel regulator of androgen receptor translation.
The regulation of androgen receptor (AR) expression in prostate cancer is still poorly understood. The activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in prostate cancer cells was previously shown to lower AR expression by a rapamycin-sensitive, posttranscriptional mechanism involving the AR mRNA 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR). In a search for an intermediate within the EGFR/phosphoi...
متن کاملHeterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K contributes to angiotensin II stimulation of vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA translation.
ANG II rapidly increases VEGF synthesis in proximal tubular epithelial cells through mRNA translation. The role of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) in ANG II regulation of VEGF mRNA translation initiation was examined. ANG II activated hnRNP K as judged by binding to poly(C)- and poly(U)-agarose. ANG II increased hnRNP K binding to VEGF mRNA at the same time as it stimulated ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) is a tissue biomarker for detection of early Hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with cirrhosis
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors occurring mainly in patients with chronic liver disease. Detection of early HCC is critically important for treatment of these patients. METHODS We employed a proteomic profiling approach to identify potential biomarker for early HCC detection. Based on Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging classificat...
