The effects of ABCB1 3'-untranslated region variants on mRNA stability.

چکیده
Genetic variation in ABCB1, encoding P-glycoprotein (P-gp), is a potential cause of interindividual variation in drug response. Numerous studies have focused on the effects of coding region variants on P-gp expression and function, whereas few noncoding region variants have been investigated. The 3'-untranslated region (UTR) regulates mRNA levels or stability via RNA-protein interactions with mRNA degradation machinery. mRNA stability is a key regulatory step controlling ABCB1 mRNA expression that ultimately affects P-gp levels and function. We hypothesized that ABCB1 3'-UTR polymorphisms alter mRNA stability by disrupting RNA-protein interactions. An ethnically diverse panel of DNA samples was sequenced to identify 3'-UTR polymorphisms and determine allele frequencies. The three most common variants, along with reference ABCB1, were stably expressed in cells in order to measure mRNA half-life. The calculated half-life for ABCB1 reference in HEK293 cells was 9.4 +/- 1.3 h and was similar to that estimated for the 3'-UTR variants. Endogenous ABCB1 mRNA decay was similar in lymphoblastoid cell lines carrying 3'-UTR variant and reference alleles. Although the examined ABCB1 3'-UTR variants have no effect on ABCB1 mRNA stability, these data represent one of the first attempts to determine the influence of genetic variation in UTRs on ABCB1 mRNA levels.

متن کاملDistinct cellular toxicity of two mutant huntingtin mRNA variants due to translation regulation
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion within exon1 of the HTT gene. The gene generates two mRNA variants that carry either a short or long 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) while encoding the same protein. It remains unknown whether the two mRNA variants play distinct roles in HD pathogenesis. We found that the long HTT 3'UTR was capable of guidin...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) is a potent secreted mitogen crucial for physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Post-transcriptional regulation of VEGF-A occurs at multiple levels. Firstly, alternative splicing gives rise to different transcript variants encoding diverse isoforms that exhibit distinct biological properties with regard to receptor binding and extra-cellular l...
متن کاملIdentification of a human VPF/VEGF 3' untranslated region mediating hypoxia-induced mRNA stability.
Hypoxia is a prominent feature of malignant tumors that are characterized by angiogenesis and vascular hyperpermeability. Vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF) has been shown to be up-regulated in the vicinity of necrotic tumor areas, and hypoxia potently induces VPF/VEGF expression in several tumor cell lines in vitro. Here we report that hypoxia-induced VP...
