Cui, LiBin, Norberta W. Schoene, Lei Zhu, Jessica C. Fanzo, Ali Alshatwi, and K. Y. Lei. Zinc depletion reduced Egr-1 and HNF-3 expression and apolipoprotein A-I promoter activity in Hep G2 cells. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 283: C623–C630, 2002. First published April 24, 2002; 10.1152/ ajpcell.00308.2001.—We examined the influence of zinc status on expression of certain transcription factors involved in regulation of apolipoprotein A-I (apoAI) expression in human hepatoblastoma Hep G2 cells. A low zinc basal medium (zinc deficient, ZD) consisting of DMEM and 10% Chelex100treated fetal bovine serum was used to deplete cellular zinc over one passage. Cells were also cultured for one passage in medium supplemented with 0.4 (ZD0.4), 4.0 (zinc normal, ZN), 16.0 (zinc adequate, ZA), or 32.0 M zinc (zinc supplemented, ZS). Compared with ZN cells, cellular zinc levels were 43 and 31% lower in ZD and ZD0.4 cells but 70 and 146% higher in ZA and ZS cells, respectively. Supplementation of 0.4 M zinc significantly increased DNA contents per plate, from 65% in ZD cells to 83% in ZD0.4 cells compared with ZN cells. Addition of 4 M zinc in medium did not further increase DNA contents. The proportion of cells in G1/S and S phase was about fourfold higher and threefold lower, respectively, in ZD cells compared with ZN and other groups. Nuclear Egr-1 protein was markedly decreased in ZD and ZD0.4 cells. Moreover, hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-3 was severely degraded in ZD and ZD0.4 cells. In contrast, HNF-4 remained stable in all groups and was not significantly lower in ZD and ZD0.4 cells. Furthermore, downregulation of trans-acting factor Egr-1 and cleavage of HNF-3 were associated with reduction of apoAI promoter activity in zinc-deficient Hep G2 cells. Thus zinc is critical in transcriptional regulation of apoAI gene expression in hepatocytes.

Bile acid reduces the secretion of very low density lipoprotein by repressing microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene expression mediated by hepatocyte nuclear factor-4.

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is involved in the transfer of triglycerides, cholesterol esters, and phospholipids to newly synthesized apolipoprotein (apo) B. It is therefore essential for lipoprotein synthesis and secretion in the liver and the small intestine. Although several recent experiments have revealed the transcriptional regulation of the MTP gene, little has been rev...

Apolipoprotein A-I gene expression is regulated by cellular zinc status in Hep G2 cells.

The influence of Zn on the expression of the apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) gene in Hep G2 cells was examined. Zn depletion was achieved with a low-Zn (ZD) medium prepared from Zn-free growth medium (Opti), a ZD medium containing Chelex 100-extracted fetal bovine serum (CHE), and a medium containing chelator 1,10-phenanthroline (OP). Compared with those for their respective controls, cellular Zn l...

Activation of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase gene promoter by hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta in human papillary thyroid cancer cells.

We previously demonstrated that the human nicotinamide N-methytransferase (NNMT) gene was highly expressed in many papillary thyroid cancers and cell lines. The expression in other papillary and follicular cancers or cell lines and normal thyroid cells was low or undetectable. To gain an understanding of the molecular mechanism of this cell-specific expression, the NNMT promoter was cloned and ...

Regulation of apoA-I gene expression: mechanism of action of estrogen and genistein.

We have previously shown that 17-beta-estradiol (E2) and genistein increase the expression of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the major protein component of HDL, in Hep G2 cells. To elucidate the mechanism mediating the increase in apoA-I gene expression by these compounds, plasmid constructs containing serial deletions of the apoA-I promoter region were generated. The smallest region maintaining ...
