A duplicated HNF-3 binding site in the CYP2H2 promoter underlies the weak phenobarbital induction response 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We are investigating induction of chicken cytochrome P450 genes by the sedative phenobarbital in chick embryo hepatocytes. The steady-state level of induced mRNA for the gene CYP2H1 is about 10-fold higher than that of a second gene, CYP2H2. Here, we show that a difference in drug-responsive enhancer activity does not underlie the differential response of these genes to phenobarbital since upstream enhancer regions are identical in these genes. The first 198 bp of CYP2H2 promoter sequence is identical to the CYP2H1 gene promoter, except that the functional HNF-3 binding site in the CYP2H1 promoter is replaced with a duplicated HNF-3 sequence in the CYP2H2 promoter. Transient expression analysis established that the promoter activity of the CYP2H2 gene was about ninefold lower than the CYP2H1 gene. Mutagenesis of either of the partially overlapping HNF-3 sites in the CYP2H2 gene substantially induced drug induction. Gel-shift analysis established that each of these HNF-3 sites bound HNF-3, most likely HNF-3beta. In-vitro footprint analysis demonstrated that all the identified sites in the CYP2H2 promoter bound protein except the duplicated HNF-3 region. However, protein binding was observed by in-vitro footprint analysis if either of the HNF-3 sites was mutated in the CYP2H2 promoter. Hence, duplication of the HNF-3 site in the CYP2H2 promoter does not allow binding of HNF-3 in the promoter context and may be predominantly, if not exclusively, responsible for the poor response of the CYP2H2 gene to phenobarbital. 相似文献

Evidence that 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide and phenobarbital induce the same cytochrome P-450 in cultured chick embryo hepatocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The induction of cytochrome P-450 in cultured chick embryo hepatocytes was studied using two structurally unrelated compounds, 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide and phenobarbital. Pulse-labeling of these cells showed enhanced de novo synthesis of cytochrome P-450. The cytochrome induced by 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide, as well as the one induced by phenobarbital, reacted immunologically with antibodies raised against the major hepatic phenobarbital-induced isozyme. Additional form of cytochrome P-450 is induced exclusively by phenobarbital. These results clearly demonstrate that these two drugs induce at least one form of cytochrome P-450 in common. 相似文献

The molecular basis for adipose-specific gene expression is not known. To approach the problem of adipocyte gene expression, we have analyzed in detail the capacity of the 5'-flanking region of the adipocyte P2 (aP2) gene to direct cell-type specific gene expression. Although the proximal promoter containing AP-1 and C/EBP binding sites is capable of directing differentiation-dependent gene expression in cultured adipocytes, these constructs are essentially inactive in the tissues of transgenic mice. We found that -5.4 kb of the 5'-flanking region were required to direct heterologous gene (chloramphenicol acetyl transferase; CAT) expression to the adipose tissue of transgenic mice. By deletion analysis, we identified a 520 bp enhancer at -5.4 kb of the aP2 gene. We show that this enhancer can direct high levels of gene expression specifically to the adipose tissue of transgenic mice. This enhancer also functions in a differentiation-dependent manner in cultured adipocytes and cannot be transactivated in preadipocytes by C/EBP. Molecular analysis indicates that several cis- and trans- acting acting elements, though not C/EBP, contribute to the specificity and potency of this enhancer. 相似文献

The promoter and exon 1 of the regulatory subunit (RII beta) of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase were isolated from a mouse genomic library. The 5'-flanking DNA lacked TATA and CAAT sites but contained GC rich regions typically found in constitutively expressed house keeping genes. Fusion gene constructs, containing RII beta 5'-flanking sequences and the bacterial CAT structural gene, were transfected into NB2a neuroblastoma cells and CHO cells. The NB2a cells expressed high levels of CAT activity. CHO cells expressed CAT activity at 5% of the level seen in the NB2a cells. Transfection of deletion constructs into both cell lines was used to define the core promoter and enhancer elements. The core promoter was situated between bp -291/-121. An enhancer element was located between bp -1426/-1018. 相似文献

In mammals, the pituitary POU homeodomain protein, Pit-1, binds to proximal and distal 5'-flanking sequences of the PRL gene that dictate tissue-specific expression. These DNA sequences are highly conserved among mammals but are dramatically different from PRL 5' sequences in the teleost species, Oncorhynchus tschawytscha (chinook salmon). To analyze the molecular basis for pituitary-specific gene expression in a distantly related vertebrate, we transfected CAT reporter gene constructs containing 2.4 kilobases (kb) 5'-flanking sequence from the salmon PRL (sPRL) gene into various cell types. Expression of the sPRL gene was restricted to pituitary cells, but in rat pituitary GH4 cells levels of expression were at least 90-fold lower than those obtained with a -3 kb rat PRL (rPRL) construct. Conversely, in primary teleost pituitary cells, -2.4 kb sPRL/CAT was expressed at levels about 10-fold higher than -3 kb rPRL/CAT. To determine whether species-specific transactivation by Pit-1 was sufficient to explain these species differences in PRL gene expression, we isolated a cDNA clone encoding the salmon Pit-1 POU domain and constructed a rat Pit-1 expression vector that contained salmon Pit-1 POU domain sequences substituted in frame. The chimeric Pit-1 encoded 14 amino acids unique to salmon. Coexpression of rat Pit-1 with salmon or rat PRL/CAT in transfected HeLa cells resulted in specific and strikingly comparable levels of promoter activation. Moreover, the specificity and efficacy of the chimeric salmon/rat Pit-1 was similar to wild type rat Pit-1 in activating salmon and rat PRL/CAT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The induction of cytochrome P450 in chick embryo liver has been studied using three different porphyrinogenic drugs, 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide, 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine and phenobarbital. Pulse-labelling studies have shown that for each drug the cytochrome P450 synthesized either in ovo or in a wheat germ translation system reacted immunologically with antibody raised against the purified 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide-induced enzyme (Mr = 50000). To investigate whether this is due to the three drugs inducing the same protein or different proteins with common immunological determinants, nucleic acid hybridization studies have been carried out using a recently characterised 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide-induced cytochrome P450 cloned cDNA probe [Brooker, J. D. et al. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 129, 325-333]. It has been shown that the mRNA induced by each drug hybridizes with this probe and all are of similar size. The melting profile of the mRNA . cDNA hybrids indicates that the mRNAs induced by the three drugs have at least 98% homology with the cDNA probe. Restriction endonuclease digestions of total chick embryo genomal DNA and a chick cytochrome P450 genomal clone indicates that the cytochrome P450 gene homologous with the cDNA probe is represented in the genome only once. These results strongly suggest that the three drugs cause increased levels of the same cytochrome P450 mRNA, possibly due to enhanced expression of the same gene. Results are also presented which show that other cytochrome-P450-inducing drugs, 3-methylcholanthrene, beta-naphthoflavone or pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile do not increase the level of the 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide-inducible mRNA but rather reduce it to a level which was lower than that of the untreated controls. 相似文献

We have used a short-term transfection technique, in which we monitor the ability of DNA fragments to induce the expression of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene in rat 208F fibroblast cells. Using appropriate vectors we have assayed for promoter or enhancer activity of the 0.8 kb SstI fragment located within the 5'-flanking sequences of the first coding exon of the human T24 and normal Ha-ras1 genes. We find that this fragment contains promoter and enhancer activities in both the normal and the T24 Ha-ras1 gene. 相似文献

Cytochromes P450 (CYP)-2C enzymes fulfill an important role in xenobiotic metabolism and therefore have extensively been studied in rodents and humans. However, no CYP2C genes have been described in avian species to date. In this paper, we report the cloning, functional analysis, and regulation of chicken CYP2C45. The sequence shares up to 58% amino acid identity with CYP2Cs in other species. The overexpression of CYP2C45 in chicken hepatoma cells leghorn male hepatoma (LMH) led to increased scoparone metabolism. CYP2C45 regulation was studied in LMH cells at the mRNA level and in reporter gene assays using a construct containing 2.6 kb of its 5'-flanking region. Exposure of LMH cells to phenobarbital or metyrapone led to a 95- or 210-fold increase in CYP2C45 mRNA and a 140- or 290-fold increase in reporter gene expression, respectively. A phenobarbital response enhancer unit (PBRU) of 239 bp containing a DR-4 nuclear receptor binding site was identified within the 2.6-kb fragment. Site-specific mutation of the DR-4 revealed the requirement of this motif for CYP2C45 induction by drugs. The chicken xenobiotic receptor CXR interacted with the PBRU in electromobility shift and transactivation assays. Furthermore, the related nuclear receptors, mouse PXR and mouse CAR, transactivated this enhancer element, suggesting evolutionary conservation of nuclear receptor-DNA interactions in CYP2C induction. 相似文献

Squalestatin1 (SQ1), a potent inhibitor of squalene synthase produced a dose-dependent induction of cytochromes P450 CYP2H1 and CYP3A37 mRNAs in chicken hepatoma cells. The effect of SQ1 was completely reversed by 25-hydroxycholesterol. Bile acids elicited an induction of CYP3A37 and CYP2H1 mRNA. Bile acids also reduced the phenobarbital induction of CYP2H1 but not of CYP3A37 mRNA. The effects of SQ1 and its reversal by 25-hydroxycholesterol and the effects of bile acids were reproduced in reporter gene assays with a phenobarbital-responsive enhancer unit of CYP2H1. These data suggest that an endogenous molecule related to cholesterol homeostasis regulates induction of drug-inducible CYPs. 相似文献

The AP-1 sequence is necessary but not sufficient for phorbol induction of collagenase in fibroblasts. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Collagenase, the only enzyme active at neutral pH that initiates collagen degradation, is a major gene product of fibroblasts that have been stimulated with a variety of agents, including phorbol esters. To study mechanisms controlling collagenase gene expression, we transiently transfected rabbit synovial fibroblasts with chimeric constructs containing up to 1.2 kb of the rabbit collagenase 5'-flanking DNA linked to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene (CAT). Our data indicate that the magnitude of the phorbol response is directly linked to the size of the promoter fragment and that the smallest piece of promoter DNA conferring phorbol inducibility is 127 bp. Deletional and mutational analysis of this fragment revealed that the AP-1 sequence alone is insufficient for phorbol inducibility and the presence of at least two additional sequences (a PEA3-like element and a sequence that includes 5'-TTCA-3') is required. In addition, a substantial increase in responsiveness is seen when a fragment containing 182 bp of 5'-flanking DNA is transfected, implicating a 36 bp region located between -182 and -149 as an enhancer. We conclude (1) that the AP-1 sequence is necessary but insufficient for expression of collagenase in adult fibroblasts, (2) that phorbol inducibility depends on cooperation among several sequence elements within the collagenase promoter, and (3) that regulation of this promoter is more complex than previously described. 相似文献

Structural analysis of a developmentally regulated 25-kDa protein gene of Sarcophaga peregrina 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In the previous paper, we described the identification of two abundant mRNAs of Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh-fly) which are selectively expressed in the fat body of middle third instar larvae. One of these mRNAs was found to encode a protein with a molecular mass of about 25,000 (25-kDa protein) when translated in vitro (Tamura, H., et al. (1983) Dev. Biol. 99, 145-151). Present paper reports the nucleotide sequence of a 2.3 kb DNA containing the entire gene for the 25-kDa protein. This gene consisted of four exons and contained an open reading frame for 184 amino acids. A CAT box and a TATA box were found in the 5'-flanking sequence. A poly A addition signal of AATAAA was assigned to the non-coding region in the fourth exon. A sequence having 75% homology with SV40 enhancer core sequence was identified in the non-coding region of the first exon. 相似文献

Thyroid hormone-responsive elements of the prolactin gene: evidence for both positive and negative regulation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To analyze the regulation of PRL gene expression by thyroid hormone (T3), fusion gene constructs containing various lengths of the rat PRL gene 5'-flanking sequence linked to the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene were transfected into the GH3 cell line. Thyroid hormone had no effect on basal or cAMP-stimulated CAT expression in constructs containing more than 1.7 kilobasepairs of the 5'-sequence. However, deletion to 1.5 or 0.6 kilobasepairs resulted in an inhibition of both basal and cAMP-stimulated expression by T3. A construct containing the proximal enhancer region (positions -292 to -38 basepairs) linked to the herpes simplex thymidine kinase promoter (TK) and the CAT reporter gene also responded to T3 with inhibition of basal and cAMP-induced CAT expression. The distal enhancer region (positions -1714 to -1495) linked to thymidine kinase promoter CAT responded to T3 with a stimulation of CAT expression, and the response was additive with the stimulatory response to cAMP. Deletion analysis of the distal enhancer region revealed that the sequence between positions -1530 and -1565 was required for the stimulatory response to T3. The stimulatory response to T3 was additive with the response to estradiol, suggesting distinct elements, but deletion to position -1565 abolished the response to estradiol and permitted an inhibitory response to T3. Mutation of the estrogen response element prevents the response to estradiol, but only blunted the response to T3. Mutation of the sequence GGTCA at positions -1555 to -1551 resulted in an inhibitory response to T3, implicating this sequence in the stimulatory response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
