Transgenic Expression of Nonclassically Secreted FGF Suppresses Kidney Repair
FGF1 is a signal peptide-less nonclassically released growth factor that is involved in angiogenesis, tissue repair, inflammation, and carcinogenesis. The effects of nonclassical FGF export in vivo are not sufficiently studied. We produced transgenic mice expressing FGF1 in endothelial cells (EC), which allowed the detection of FGF1 export to the vasculature, and studied the efficiency of posti...
متن کاملNonclassically Secreted Regulators of Angiogenesis
Many secreted polypeptide regulators of angiogenesis are devoid of signal peptides. These proteins are released through nonclassical pathways independent of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. In most cases, the nonclassical protein export is induced by stress. It usually serves to stimulate repair or inflammation in damaged tissues. We review the secreted signal peptide-less regulators of angioge...
متن کاملTransgenic expression of ZBP1 in neurons suppresses cocaine-associated conditioning.
To directly address whether regulating mRNA localization can influence animal behavior, we created transgenic mice that conditionally express Zipcode Binding Protein 1 (ZBP1) in a subset of neurons in the brain. ZBP1 is an RNA-binding protein that regulates the localization, as well as translation and stability of target mRNAs in the cytoplasm. We took advantage of the absence of ZBP1 expressio...
متن کاملCyclosporine A suppresses cyclooxygenase-2 expression in the rat kidney.
On the basis of recent evidence that the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene promoter contains functional binding sites for the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) and that COX-2 is expressed in a regulated fashion in the kidney, this study aimed to assess the effect of immunosuppressants on COX-2 expression in the kidney. Therefore, Wistar-Kyoto rats were treated with cyclosporine A (CsA; 15 ...
متن کاملEctopic gland induction by lens-specific expression of keratinocyte growth factor (FGF-7) in transgenic mice
During mammalian embryogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal interactions play a determining role in normal tissue patterning and development. Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, is a mesenchymally-derived mitogen for epithelial cells. As the KGF receptor is expressed by epithelial cells of numerous tissues and KGF is produced in adjacent stromal c...
