Abstract

The preceding paper (Cha, H. H., Cram, E. J., Wang, E. C., Huang, A. J., Kasler, H. G., and Firestone, G. L. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 0000-0000(478563) defined a glucocorticoid responsive region within teh promoter of the p21 CDK inhibitor gene that contains a putative DNA-binding site for the transcription factor CCAAT/ enhancer binding protein-alpha (C/EBP alpha). Wild type rat BDS1 hepatoma cells as well as as4 hepatoma cells, which express antisense sequences to C/EBP alpha and ablate its protein production, were utilized to investigate the role of this transcription factor in the glucocorticoid regulation of p21 gene expression. The stimulation of p21 protein levels and promoter activity, as well as inhibition of CDK2-mediated retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation, by the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, required the expression of C/EBP alpha. Overexpression of C/EBP alpha in as4 cells rescued the dexamethasone responsiveness of the p21 promoter. Site-directed mutagenesis of the p21 promoter revealed that dexamethasone stimulation of p21 promoter activity required the C/EBP consensus DNA-binding site. Furthermore, in glucocorticoid receptor-defective EDR1 hepatoma cells, dexamethasone failed to stimulate C/EBP a...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
