We have investigated developmental expression of the gene Egr-1, which encodes a protein containing three zinc fingers. Egr-1 like c-fos is a serum inducible, early response gene, which is co-induced with c-fos in a variety of quite different situations. A single 3.7-kb RNA was detected throughout fetal mouse development, which increased in absolute levels in total fetal RNA from 9.5 to 12.5 days post coitum (p.c.). In situ hybridization to 14.5- and 17.5-day p.c. fetal tissues demonstrated Egr-1 accumulation at several specific sites. These included mesenchymal components of the developing tooth germs and salivary and nasal glands; an ectodermally derived component of the whisker pad and developing muscle, cartilage, and bone. Expression of Egr-1 in cartilage and bone showed a strikingly similar expression to previously published reports of c-fos in these tissues. High levels of Egr-1 RNA was observed at the perichondrial interface of opposing cartilaginous elements and in interstitial cells that lie in between. Bone expression was observed in membranous bone of the head, alveolar bone around the tooth germs, and at periosteal and endochondral ossification sites in the limb bones. Our data support the idea that Egr-1 and c-fos may be coregulated in vivo and together may regulate normal development of the skeleton. 相似文献

We transfected the melanocyte-specific Mitf-M isoform into the aggressive melanoma UISO-Mel-6 cell lines. Our data show that Mitf decreases cell proliferation and results in cells which grow in clusters. By analyzing the expression of the markers of differentiation, we demonstrate that Mitf favored increased expression of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1. In addition, Mitf induces Bcl-2 expression following transfection of UISO-Mel-6 cells. We also showed that Mitf gene affects cell-cycle distribution by resting cells preferentially in G2/G1 phase, and inducing the expression of p21 and p27. Moreover, we performed in vivo studies using subcutaneous injection of UISO-Mel-6 and UISO-Mel-6-Mitf in Balb/c nude mice. Our data show that Mitf inhibits tumor growth and decreases Ki67 expression. Tumors induced by UISO-Mel-6 cells were ulcerated and resulted in metastases to liver. None of the mice injected with UISO-Mel-6(Mitf+) cells harbored liver metastases. Our results suggest that Mitf is involved in melanoma differentiation and leads to a less aggressive phenotype. 相似文献

A potato gene encoding a putative WRKY protein was isolated from a cDNA library enriched by suppression subtractive hybridization for sequences upregulated 1 h postinoculation with Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica. The cDNA encodes a putative polypeptide of 172 amino acids, containing a single WRKY domain with a zinc finger motif and preceded by a potential nuclear localization site. St-WRKY1 was strongly upregulated in compatible, but only weakly in incompatible, interactions with Phytophthora infestans where, in all cases, it was coregulated with class I endochitinase, associating its expression with a known defense response. Whereas St-WRKY1 was strongly induced by E. carotovora culture filtrate (CF), confirming it to be an elicitor-induced gene, no such induction was detected after treatment with salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate, ethylene, or wounding. St-WRKY1 was upregulated by treatment of potato leaves with CFs from recombinant Escherichia coli containing plasmids expressing E. carotovora pectate lyase genes pelB and pelD, suggesting that either proteins encoded by these genes, or oligogalacturonides generated by their activity, elicit a potato defense pathway associated with St-WRKY1. 相似文献
