Regulation of Id1 and its association with basic helix-loop-helix proteins during nerve growth factor-induced differentiation of PC12 cells. 下载免费PDF全文
Cell differentiation in the nervous system is dictated by specific patterns of gene expression. We have investigated the role of helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins during differentiation of PC12 pheochromocytoma cells in response to nerve growth factor. Gel mobility shift assays using PC12 cell nuclear extracts demonstrated that active basic HLH complexes exist throughout differentiation. Addition of exogeneous Id1 protein, a negative regulator of basic HLH proteins, disrupted specific complexes formed by PC12 cell nuclear extracts on a CANNTG consensus oligonucleotide. To identify possible novel basic HLH proteins in these complexes, a glutathione S-transferase-Id1 fusion protein was used to screen a PC12 cell cDNA expression library. A single clone representing the rat E2-2 gene was identified. Sequential immunoprecipitations with antibodies to each HLH protein revealed an association between Id1 and E2-2 that could be detected in both untreated and nerve growth factor-treated PC12 cell lysates. These experiments define a new HLH interaction between Id1 and E2-2 in neuronal cells and suggest that neuronal differentiation may be regulated by HLH proteins in a distinctive manner. 相似文献

Human endothelial cells can be induced to form capillary-like tubular networks in collagen gels. We have used this in vitro model and representational difference analysis to identify genes involved in the formation of new blood vessels. HESR1 (HEY-1/HRT-1/CHF-2/gridlock), a basic helix-loop-helix protein related to the hairy/enhancer of split/HES family, is absent in migrating and proliferating cultures of endothelial cells but is rapidly induced during capillary-like network formation. HESR1 is detectable in all adult tissues and at high levels in well vascularized organs such as heart and brain. Its expression is also enriched in aorta and purified capillaries. Overexpression of HESR1 in endothelial cells down-regulates vascular endothelial cell growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2) mRNA levels and blocks proliferation, migration, and network formation. Interestingly, reduction of expression of HESR1 by antisense oligonucleotides also blocks endothelial cell network formation in vitro. Finally, HESR1 expression is altered in several breast, lung, and kidney tumors. These data are consistent with a temporal model for HESR1 action where down-regulation at the initiation of new vessel budding is required to allow VEGFR2-mediated migration and proliferation, but re-expression of HESR1 is necessary for induction of tubular network formation and continued maintenance of the mature, quiescent vessel. 相似文献
