Identification of genes differentially regulated by glucocorticoids and progestins using a Cre/loxP-mediated retroviral promoter-trapping strategy.

Glucocorticoids and progestins are two classes of steroid hormone with very distinct biological functions. However, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and the progesterone receptor (PR) share many structural and functional similarities. One way that glucocorticoids and progestins can exert different biological effects is through their different abilities to regulate the expression of certain target genes. A strategy employing a retroviral promoter-trap and Cre/loxP-mediated site-specific recombination has been developed to identify genes that are differentially regulated by glucocorticoids and progestins. A mouse fibroblast cell line (4F) stably expressing both GR and PR and containing a single copy of a multifunctional selection plasmid is generated. This line is transduced with a self-inactivating retroviral promoter-trap vector carrying coding sequences for Cre-recombinase (Cre) in the U3 region. Integration of the provirus places Cre expression under the control of a genomic flanking sequence. Activation of Cre expression from integration into active genes results in a permanent switch between the selectable marker genes that converts the cells from neomycin-resistant to hygromycin-resistant. Selection for hygromycin resistance after hormone treatment yields recombinants in which Cre sequences in the U3 region are expressed from hormone-inducible upstream cellular promoters. Because Cre-mediated recombination is a permanent event, the expression of the selectable marker genes is independent of ongoing Cre expression. Thus this system permits the identification of genes that are transiently or weakly induced by hormone.

Hesx1 homeodomain protein represses transcription as a monomer and antagonises transactivation of specific sites as a homodimer.

Quirk J, Brown P.

The homeobox repressor Hesx1, expressed throughout Rathke's pouch and required for normal pituitary development, has been implicated in anterior pituitary pathogenesis in man. Prolonged expression of Hesx1 delays the appearance of anterior pituitary terminal differentiation markers in mice, particularly the gonadotroph hormones. We tested if Hesx1 could modulate gonadotrophin gene expression directly, and found that Hesx1 repressed both common alpha subunit (alpha GSU) and luteinising hormone beta-subunit (LH beta) gene promoters. Repression mapped to the Pitx1 homeodomain protein transactivation site in the proximal alpha GSU promoter, but did not map to the equivalent site on LH beta. Hesx1 repression of the alpha GSU Pitx1 site was overridden by co-transfection of Pitx1. In contrast, Hesx1 antagonised Pitx1 transactivation of LH beta in a dose-dependent manner. This was due to monomeric binding of Hesx1 on alpha GSU and homodimerisation on LH beta. The homodimerisation site comprises the Pitx1 DNA binding site and a proximal binding site, and mutation of either inhibited homodimer formation. Conversion of the LH beta Pitx1 DNA binding site to an alpha GSU-type did not promote homodimer formation, arguing that Hesx1 has pronounced site selectivity. Furthermore, mutation of the proximal half of the homodimerisation site blocked Hesx1 antagonisation of Pitx1 transactivation. We conclude that Hesx1 monomers repress gene expression, and homodimers block specific transactivation sites.

Differences in E2F subunit expression in quiescent and proliferating vascular smooth muscle cells.

E2F is a family of transcriptional factors that control G(1)/S transition. We investigated how the E2F family participates in the biological responses of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) to vasoconstrictive hormones compared with fetal bovine serum (FBS). FBS induced upregulation of E2F-1 and E2F-5 at both mRNA and protein levels and slightly reduced E2F-3 protein. Angiotensin II (ANG II) and arginine vasopressin increased E2F-3 protein, but not E2F-1 and E2F-5, without upregulating its mRNA level. FBS transactivated the E2F-1 gene through the induction of free E2F-1 binding onto its promoter, whereas ANG II-induced binding of E2F-3 did not result in activation of the E2F-1 promoter. These changes are responsible for hypertrophic or hyperplastic response of VSMC to different growth factors or stimulants. In contrast, both FBS and vasoconstrictive hormones drove transcription of the cdc6 gene by downregulating p130 and recruiting free E2F-3 in the latter, which underlies the progression of VSMC into S phase.

Ovariectomy upregulates expression of estrogen receptors, NOS, and HSPs in porcine platelets.

Platelets participate in normal and pathological thrombotic processes. Hormone replacement in postmenopausal women is associated with increase risk for thrombosis. However, little is known regarding how platelets are affected by hormonal status. Nitric oxide (NO) modulates platelet functions and is modulated by hormones. Therefore, the present study was designed to determine how loss of ovarian hormones changes expression of estrogen receptors and regulatory proteins for NO synthase (NOS) in platelets. Estrogen receptors (ER alpha and ER beta), NOS, heat shock proteins 70 and 90 (HSP70 and HSP90), caveolin-1, -2, and -3, calmodulin, NOS activity, and cGMP were analyzed in a lysate of platelets from gonadally intact and ovariectomized female pigs. Expression of ER beta and ER alpha receptors, endothelial NOS (eNOS), HSP70, and HSP90 increased with ovariectomy. NOS activity and cGMP also increased; calmodulin was unchanged. Caveolins were not detected. These results suggest that ovarian hormones influence expression of estrogen receptors and eNOS in platelets. Changes in estrogen receptors and NOS could affect platelet aggregation in response to hormone replacement.

Ciprofloxacin inhibits cell growth and synergises the effect of etoposide in hormone resistant prostate cancer cells.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in men in the United States. Ciprofloxacin is a relatively non-toxic antibiotic that can be easily administered orally with large volume of distribution and good tissue penetration. Studies from others and our laboratory have recently reported its anti-tumor activity in a variety of human tumor cells. In our current experiment, we studied the effect of ciprofloxacin on a hormone resistant prostate cancer (HRPC) cell line, PC-3. Our study shows significant in vitro cell growth inhibition of PC-3 cell line (p=0.0001) and also shows that there is a synergistic increase in the antiproliferative effect of etoposide when these cells are pretreated with ciprofloxacin for 24 h, prior to etoposide exposure (p=0.0001). Western blot analysis of the protein extracts from these cells showed down-regulation of Bcl-2, altering the ratio of Bax:Bcl-2 favoring apoptosis. In our study no significant effect was seen on p21WAF1 expression by the combination of ciprofloxacin and etoposide but there was down-regulation of p21WAF1 gene by ciprofloxacin alone. Ciprofloxacin also inhibited NF-kappaB binding to DNA. Further studies in this area are warranted as the roles of p21WAF1, Bax/Bcl-2 and NF-kappaB may be important molecular events in mediating the antiproliferative and apoptosis inducing effect of etoposide in combination with ciprofloxacin in HRPC cells.

Hair loss is genetically influenced, but it is always difficult to predict. Overall, more than 50% of US men suffer hair loss by their age of 45. Men are more likely to lose hair than women. Hair Million offers an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotal evidence and personal experiences indicate the efficacy of this herbal blend in improveming age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a number of people who take it. The mechanism of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is totally unknown. It is only known by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. Propecia is a clinically tested drug for the purpose of reversing hair loss.
