Post-transcriptional regulation of the human reduced folate carrier as a novel adaptive mechanism in response to folate excess or deficiency
The RFC (reduced folate carrier) is the principal mechanism by which folates and clinically used antifolates are delivered to mammalian cells. hRFC (human RFC) is subject to complex transcriptional controls and exists as homo-oligomer. To explore the post-transcriptional regulation of hRFC by exogenous folates, hRFC-null HeLa cells were stably transfected with hRFC under control of a constituti...
متن کاملFolate receptor and human reduced folate carrier expression in HepG2 cell line exposed to fumonisin B1 and folate deficiency.
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) induces apoptosis and decreases the cellular uptake of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Two folate transporters (folate receptor, FR, and Reduced Folate Carrier, hRFC1) are involved in the cell uptake of folate. We aimed to study whether FB1 modifies the expression of the FR and the hRFC1 and whether its apoptotic effect is influenced by folate. Incubation of HepG2 cells with FB1 in...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the human reduced folate carrier in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells.
PURPOSE The transcriptional regulation of the human reduced folate carrier (hRFC), involved in cellular uptake of methotrexate and reduced folates, was studied in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The hRFC gene is regulated by six noncoding exons (A1/A2 and A to E) and multiple promoters. In ALL, hRFC-A1/A2 and hRFC-B are the major transcript forms. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN RNAs from 1...
متن کاملRole of reduced folate carrier in intestinal folate uptake.
Studies from our laboratory and others have characterized different aspects of the intestinal folate uptake process and have shown that the reduced folate carrier (RFC) is expressed in the gut and plays a role in the uptake process. Little, however, is known about the actual contribution of the RFC system toward total folate uptake by the enterocytes. Addressing this issue in RFC knockout mice ...
متن کاملPost-hatching ontogeny of intestinal proton-coupled folate transporter and reduced folate carrier in broiler chickens.
Folate transporters, including the reduced folate carrier and the proton-coupled folate transporter, encoded by Slc19a1 and Slc46a1 genes respectively, play important roles in the transport of folate across biological membranes given the hydrophilic nature of folates. Although a number of studies have demonstrated that these two transporters are regulated ontogenetically in mammals, little data...
