NKX3.1是前列腺特异表达的同源盒基因,在前列腺癌的发生发展中起重要作用,而在前列腺癌进展中常会发生p53的基因突变.为研究两者之间的关系,构建NKX-3.1启动子(1 040bp)-荧光素酶报告基因重组质粒(pGL3-1040)及其缺失突变体,瞬时转染前列腺癌细胞LNCaP.通过荧光素酶表达活性分析,检测p53过表达对NKX3.1启动子活性的影响.结果表明:p53在LNCaP细胞中过表达可明显抑制NKX3.1启动子活性;RT-PCR及Western印迹检测p53过表达对NKX3.1表达的影响.结果表明,p53过表达可以明显抑制同源盒基因NKX3.1的表达.通过TRANSFAC软件分析,在NKX3.1基因上游-526至-507区存在一个p53反应元件的5′核心序列.缺失pGL3-1040中的p53反应元件核心序列并不能消除p53对NKX3.1启动子的抑制作用,表明p53不是通过p53反应元件直接抑制NKX3.1启动子活性.进一步通过5′缺失突变分析,发现NKX3.1启动子-140~+8 bp区仍受p53负调控.此148 bp区域中含有一个Sp1和一个CREB元件,瞬时共转染Sp1表达载体或CREB表达载体的结果表明,p53并不是通过与Sp1或CREB相互作用对NKX3.1启动子发挥抑制作用的.上述结果表明,p53过表达可以抑制同源盒基因NKX3.1启动子活性,下调NKX3.1基因的转录,其调控机制有待进一步研究.  相似文献

Tyrosinase, the key gene in melanin pigment synthesis, is tissue-specifically expressed in melanocytic cells. Expression of this gene is regulated by various hormones, carcinogens, and environmental factors. The molecular basis underlying tyrosinase gene regulation is still not clear. In this report, we present the effects of tumor suppressor p53 protein on tyrosinase gene expression and melanin synthesis in human melanoma. After stable transfection of wild type p53 expression plasmid into a highly pigmented melanoma cell line, overexpression of wt p53 suppressed the pigmentation of the melanoma cells. The loss of pigmentation was associated with the loss of endogenous tyrosinase expression at the activity and mRNA levels. In order to determine whether the p53 repression of tyrosinase mRNA involved modulation of tyrosinase promoter activity, transient transfection approaches involving p53 expression plasmid and construct containing chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) reporter gene linked to 270 bp tissue-specific tyrosinase promoter have been used. p53 specifically repressed CAT gene expression from the tyrosinase promoter and not from the Rous sarcoma virus promoter. These data suggest that in human melanoma p53 down-regulates the tissue-specific expression of tyrosinase gene and subsequent melanin synthesis.  相似文献
