Mechanical regulation of HB-GAM expression in bone cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Bone adaption upon mechanical stimulation is accompanied by changes in gene expression. In this context we investigated the influence of mechanical loading on heparin binding growth associated molecule (HB-GAM) expression, an extracellular matrix molecule which in cell culture has been shown to stimulate the differentiation of osteoblasts. We obtained information on the participating signal transduction pathways using a mitogenic loading regimen. Specific inhibitors of various signal transduction pathways were added to loaded cells and to unloaded controls. By semi-quantitative PCR studies we demonstrated a rapid decrease of HB-GAM expression in primary osteoblasts and SaOs-2 cells by 20-30% upon mechanical loading within 30min. We showed that the RGD-integrin interaction is involved in the regulation of HB-GAM expression. Furthermore, integrity of the cytoskeleton, stretch-activated, and voltage-sensitive Ca(2+) channels as well as gap junctional communication are necessary for the downregulation of HB-GAM expression by mechanical loading. 相似文献

CS3纤毛抗原表达调控机理的研究 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
CS3是某些肠毒素大肠杆菌菌体表面上的多聚物,它能使病原菌粘附于宿主的小肠上皮细胞上,是致病的重要因素.为了探索CS3菌毛抗原基因的表达调控机制,根据CS3亚基结构基因的核苷酸序列分析表明,在其翻译起始位点的上游存在着rbs位点及原核启动子的-10区和-35区DNA序列.采用基因重组技术将CS3结构基因上游120bp的DNA片段亚克隆进缺乏启动子而只含报告基因lacZ的质粒pCB267中.凝胶滞留和启动报告基因表达的实验证明了CS3亚基结构基因具有自身的启动子(Ps).将该启动子上游区域不同长度的核苷酸片段克隆进pCB267中,报告基因表达结果表明CS3结构基因的表达受其上游区域的抑制.核苷酸序列分析发现,在Ps-35区上游550bp和840bp处各存在一个富A-T簇.结合原核启动子的一般作用规律推知,CS3的表达可能受DNA结合蛋白型的正向调节因子的作用.用CFA/1菌毛抗原基因的正向调节基因cfaD对CS3基因进行的互补表达试验表明cfaD基因不仅可消除上游区对Ps的抑制,而且可大幅度地提高Ps的启动能力.在分析表达调控的基础上获得CS3重组高效表达.同时提出了其表达调控模型. 相似文献

Boundary elements have been found in the regulatory region of the Drosophila melanogaster Abdominal-B (Abd-B) gene, which is subdivided into a series of iab domains. The best-studied Fab-7 and Fab-8 boundaries flank the iab-7 enhancer and isolate it from the four promoters regulating Abd-B expression. Recently binding sites for the Drosophila homolog of the vertebrate insulator protein CTCF (dCTCF) were identified in the Fab-8 boundary and upstream of Abd-B promoter A, with no binding of CTCF to the Fab-7 boundary being detected either in vivo or in vitro. Taking into account the inability of the yeast GAL4 activator to stimulate the white promoter when its binding sites are separated by a 5-kb yellow gene, we have tested the functional interactions between the Fab-7 and Fab-8 boundaries and between these boundaries and the upstream promoter A region containing a dCTCF binding site. It has been found that dCTCF binding sites are essential for pairing between two Fab-8 insulators. However, a strong functional interaction between the Fab-7 and Fab-8 boundaries suggests that additional, as yet unidentified proteins are involved in long-distance interactions between them. We have also shown that Fab-7 and Fab-8 boundaries effectively interact with the upstream region of the Abd-B promoter. 相似文献
