Background: The organochlorine DDT has estrogenic activity but the mechanism underlying the estrogenic activity of this pesticide remains unclear. In the present investigation here, we studied the transcriptional effects of a synthetic organochlorine pesticide o,p’-DDT [1.1.1.-trichloro-2-(o-chlorophenyl)-2-p-chloriphenyl ethane] and its metabolite p,p'-DDE (2-2-bis(4/chlorophenyl)-1-1-di...
BACKGROUND Sulfonylurea primarily stimulates insulin secretion by binding to its receptor on the pancreatic β-cells. Recent studies have suggested that sulfonylureas induce insulin sensitivity through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), one of the nuclear receptors. In this study, we investigated the effects of sulfonylurea on PPARγ transcriptional activity and on the glucose ...
Zinc finger-containing Gli proteins mediate responsiveness to Hedgehog (Hh) signaling, with Gli2 acting as the major transcriptional activator in this pathway in mice. The discovery of disease-associated mutations points to a critical role for GLI2 in human Hh signaling as well. Here, we show that human GLI2 contains previously undescribed 5' sequence, extending the amino-terminus an additional...
p300 regulates the transcriptional activity of a variety of transcription factors by forming an activation complex and/or promoting histone acetylation. Here, we show a unique characteristic of orphan receptor TR3 in negatively regulating the function of p300. TR3 was found to interact with p300 and inhibited the acetylation of transcription factors induced by p300, resulting in the repression ...
Background: Phytoestrogens, a group of plant-derived polyphenolic compounds have recently come into considerable attention due to the increasing information on their potential adverse effects in human health. Some of phytoestrogens show estrogenic activity that may be carcinogenic for human. In the present study, we investigated the transcriptional effects of variety of phytoestrogens ...
Using dual-luciferase reporter assay system, our previous study showed that LI2, significantly increased AP-1 transcriptional activity. Sub-cellular localization showed that GFP-LI2 fusion protein is diffusely distributed in the cytoplasm, with some highly concentrated spots around the nucleus, suggesting that LI2 protein has a physiological role in cytoplasm. Overexpression of LI2 significantl...
The p53 transcriptional network orchestrates alternative stress responses such as cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Here we investigate the mechanism of differential expression of p21, a key mediator of p53-dependent cell-cycle arrest. We demonstrate that the transcriptional activity of the p21 promoter varies greatly in response to distinct p53-activating stimuli. Chromatin immunoprecipitation ...
The Notch signaling pathway governs many distinct cellular processes by regulating transcriptional programs. The transcriptional response initiated by Notch is highly cell context dependent, indicating that multiple factors influence Notch target gene selection and activity. However, the mechanism by which Notch drives target gene transcription is not well understood. Herein, we identify and ch...
To identify the androgenic potency of commonly used antimicrobials, an in vitro androgen receptor-mediated transcriptional activity assay was employed to evaluate the androgenic/antiandrogenic activity of parabens and selected other antimicrobials containing a phenolic moiety. This cell-based assay utilizes a stably transfected cell line that lacks critical steroid metabolizing enzymes and is f...
