Epidermal growth factor gene expression in human breast cancer cells: regulation of expression by progestins.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is thought to be important in normal mammary development. The presence of EGF receptors in breast cancer cells suggests that it may also have a role in regulating growth of tumors of the human breast. Using a complementary DNA probe for the human EGF precursor we have examined expression of this gene in a series of human breast cancer cells in long term culture. Th...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor gene expression in human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells: regulation by progestins.
In an attempt to understand the antiproliferative effects of progestins in endometrial cancer, we have examined the effects of the potent progestin, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), on the cell proliferation and the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF) alpha and beta genes in human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell lines. The two cell lines used were Ishikawa, var 1, and HEC-50. In ad...
متن کاملRegulation of transcription by E2F1/DP1.
The E2F1 transcription factor, in co-operation with DP1, controls the expression of several S-phase specific genes. This activity is most likely responsible for the oncogenic and S-phase inducing properties of E2F1, suggesting that this transcription factor plays a key role in regulating the cell cycle. The transcriptional activation functions of E2F1 are resident in a small C-terminal domain w...
متن کاملRegulation of E2F1 activity by acetylation.
During the G(1) phase of the cell cycle, an E2F-RB complex represses transcription, via the recruitment of histone deacetylase activity. Phosphorylation of RB at the G(1)/S boundary generates a pool of 'free' E2F, which then stimulates transcription of S-phase genes. Given that E2F1 activity is stimulated by p300/CBP acetylase and repressed by an RB-associated deacetylase, we asked if E2F1 was ...
متن کاملRegulation of the expression and activity by progestins of a member of the SOX gene family of transcriptional modulators.
The mammalian testis-determining gene Sry and the related Sox genes define a family of transcriptional regulators widely expressed during embryogenesis. Tightly controlled temporal profiles of expression are a feature of the Sox gene family and may be required for initiation of a cascade of gene expression, yet the molecular mechanisms that control Sox gene expression are unknown. We now show t...
