Porcine epithelial cells in primary culture seeded on plastic substratum form a monolayer containing pseudo-vesicles. When cultured in the presence of thyreotropin (TSH) thyrocytes adopted a follicular-like structure and formed clusters. Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFbeta1) induced a rapid spreading of the TSH-treated cells only. At the same time, TGFbeta1 enhanced clusterin protein and mRNA expression. The increase of clusterin synthesis was proportional to the TGFbeta1 concentration in the culture medium. Tunicamycin abolished the up-regulation of whole clusterin synthesis and morphological changes. The activator protein-1 binding site partly directed the TGFbeta1-stimulated clusterin expression. Phorbol ester caused rapid spreading of the cells with disappearance of vesicular and follicular structures. It decreased clusterin mRNA and protein expression, but increased Mr 45, 000 protein secretion in both TSH-treated and nontreated cells. Up-regulation of clusterin expression may be a marker of TGFbeta-mediated thyrocyte dedifferentiation. 相似文献

RNA helicase A in the MEF1 transcription factor complex up-regulates the MDR1 gene in multidrug-resistant cancer cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
RNA helicase A (RHA) is a member of the DEAD/H family of RNA helicases and unwinds duplex RNA and DNA. Recent studies have shown that RHA regulates the activity of gene promoters. However, little information is available about the in vivo relevance of RHA in the regulation of natural genes. We previously characterized a nuclear protein (MEF1) that binds to the proximal promoter of the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) and up-regulates the promoter activity. In the present study, we isolated and identified RHA as a component of the MEF1 complex by using DNA-affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry. The antibody against RHA specifically disrupted the complex formation in electrophoretic mobility shift assay, confirming the identity of RHA. Western blotting showed that RHA in drug-resistant cells had a higher molecular weight than that in drug-sensitive cells. Similar results were obtained when FLAG-tagged RHA was overexpressed in these cells. This size difference probably reflects posttranslational modification(s) of RHA in drug-resistant cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed that RHA occupies the MDR1 promoter in vivo. Overexpression of RHA enhanced expression of the MDR1 promoter/reporter construct and endogenous P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the MDR1 gene product, and increased drug resistance of drug-resistant cells but not the drug-sensitive counterpart. Introduction of short interfering RNA targeting the RHA gene sequence selectively knocked-down RHA expression and concomitantly reduced P-gp level. Thus, our study demonstrates, for the first time, the involvement of RHA in up-regulation of the MDR1 gene. Interactions of RHA with other protein factors in the MEF1 complex bound to the promoter element may contribute to P-gp overexpression and multidrug resistance phenotype in drug-resistant cancer cells. 相似文献

Background
Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) is a transmembrane protein with multiple functions in different cell types. CEACAM1 expression is frequently mis-regulated in cancer, with down-regulation reported in several tumors of epithelial origin and de novo expression of CEACAM1 in lung cancer and malignant melanoma. In this report we analyzed the regulation of CEACAM1 expression in three breast cancer cell lines that varied in CEACAM1 expression from none (MCF7) to moderate (MDA-MB-468) to high (MCF10A, comparable to normal breast). 相似文献15.
