Inhibition of TNF-alpha gene expression and bioactivity by site-specific transcription factor-binding oligonucleotides.
The present study investigated transcriptional inactivation of TNF-alpha gene by nuclear factor-binding oligonucleotides (ON) and their effects on pulmonary inflammatory responses in mice. PCR-based gene mutation and gel shift assays were used to identify specific cis-acting elements necessary for nuclear factor binding and transactivation of TNF-alpha gene by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS indu...
متن کاملSpecific Inhibition of the Expression of the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) Protein by Anti-Sense Oligonucleotides
In the present study, using anti-sense oligonucleotides the inhibition of expression of the PML protein hasbeen investigated. The anti-sense oligonucleotides were designed against the translation initiation site ofthe PML gene, and their effects were investigated on cellular growth and DNA synthesis. Incubation of normalhuman fibroblast cells with the anti-sense oligonucleotid...
متن کاملHomocysteine Induces Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression via Transcription Factor Nrf2 Activation in HepG2 Cells
Background: Elevated level of plasma homocysteine has been related to various diseases. Patients with hyperhomocysteinemia can develop hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. We hypothesized that oxidative stress induced by homocysteine might play an important role in pathogenesis of liver injury. Also, the cellular response designed to combat oxidative stress is primarily controlled by the transcripti...
متن کاملThe inhibition of Escherichia coli lac operon gene expression by antigene oligonucleotides-mathematical modeling.
Gene transcription is regulated by transcription factors that can bind to specific regions on DNA. Antigene oligonucleotides (oligos) can bind to specific regions on DNA and form a triplex with the double-stranded DNA. The triplex can competitively inhibit the binding of transcription factors and, as a result, transcription can be inhibited. A genetically structured model has been developed to ...
متن کاملEvaluation of MYB93 and MAD8 Genes in Transgenic and Non-Transgenic Rice
Increasing drought tolerance, especially in rice, which is one of the most important crops in Asia, is necessary. Transcription factors are specific sequence DNA-binding proteins that are capable of activating or suppressing transcription. These proteins regulate gene expression levels by binding to cis regulatory elements in the promoter of target genes to control various biological processes ...
