cAMP-stimulated transcription of DGKθ requires steroidogenic factor 1 and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1.
Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK)θ is a lipid kinase that phosphorylates diacylglycerol to form phosphatidic acid (PA). We have previously shown that PA is a ligand for the nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) and that cAMP-stimulated expression of SF1 target genes requires DGKθ. In this study, we sought to investigate the role of cAMP signaling in regulating DGKθ gene expression. Real time ...
متن کاملThe AP-1 family member FOS blocks transcriptional activity of the nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1.
Steroid production in the adrenal zona glomerulosa is under the control of angiotensin II (Ang II), which, upon binding to its receptor, activates protein kinase C (PKC) within these cells. PKC is a potent inhibitor of the steroidogenic enzyme CYP17. We have demonstrated that, in the ovary, PKC activates expression of FOS, a member of the AP-1 family, and increased expression of this gene is li...
متن کاملAdrenocorticotropin/cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-mediated transcription of the human CYP17 gene in the adrenal cortex is dependent on phosphatase activity.
cAMP-dependent transcription of steroid hydroxylase genes involves activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and subsequent phosphorylation of downstream target proteins. Although the requirement for the activation of PKA is well established, none of the transcription factors required for steroid hydroxylase gene transcription have been found to be PKA phosphoproteins. In this study we ...
متن کاملIncreases in phosphatidic acid levels accompany sphingosine-stimulated proliferation of quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells.
Sphingosine, a breakdown product of cellular sphingolipids, has recently been shown to stimulate DNA synthesis and act synergistically with known growth factors to induce proliferation of quiescent Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts (Hong, Z., Buckley, N. E., Gibson, K., and Spiegel, S. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 76-81). The present study demonstrates that mitogenic concentrations of sphingosine induce earl...
متن کاملLong-term hypoxia represses the expression of key genes regulating cortisol biosynthesis in the near-term ovine fetus.
Basal plasma ACTH(1-39) concentrations are elevated in long-term hypoxic (LTH) fetal sheep. This study was designed to determine whether the expression of genes regulating cortisol biosynthesis was altered after LTH. Pregnant ewes were maintained at high altitude (3,820 m) from day 30 of gestation to near term, when the animals were transported to the laboratory. Reduced PO2 was maintained by n...
