Abstract:
To identify new genes functionally involved in erythropoiesis during development and maturation, we analysed by DNA microarray three cell populations of different maturity during mouse fetal liver development (E11.5 - E13.5). Among genes whose expression increases in parallel with erythroid maturation there is Sox6, a member of the Sry–related transcription factors family. Sox6 is known to play a major role in erythropoiesis: its ablation in mouse causes a strong relative increase of the expression of embryonic (εy) versus other non-alpha globin genes in late gestation, and a high number of

Abstract:
The development of the hematopoietic system occurs in two waves: a first wave of primitive erythropoiesis, which consists in the production of a single lineage, primitive erythrocytes, and a second wave of definitive hematopoiesis, which describes the generation of many specialized blood cell types from common hematopoietic stem cells. Whereas definitive hematopoiesis is fairly well understood, involves signals from the environment and the expression of lineage-specific transcription factors, the molecular mechanisms regulating primitive erythropoiesis remain to be defined.

It regulates iron homeostasis in macrophages and exerts pleiotropic effects on macrophage activation. In mice, natural resistance or susceptibility to a range of intracellular pathogens is controlled by the Slc11a1 gene. In human, genetic polymorphisms of the SLC11A1 gene have

Abstract:
The gene encoding the glycolytic enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase is transcriptionally regulated at two levels. Expression of enzyme is related to the glycolytic activity of the cell, and is highest in transcriptionally active cells. Expression is also regulated by X chromosome inactivation, as the somatically expressed Pgk-1 gene is X-linked. The role of 5$\sp\prime$-flanking cis-acting DNA elements and trans-acting factors in the regulation of Pgk-1 expression was examined. The murine Pgk-1 gene contains an upstream activator sequence (UAS) in its 5$\sp\prime$-flanking region. This region was

The beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR) represents a very attractive target for the development of anti-obesity drugs.

In humans, however, these particular compounds appear to be less effective and not as specific for the beta3-AR as they are in rodents. An additional problem is the low level of expression of these receptors in human adipose, which may ultimately limit the clinical use of stronger more specific agonists. The objective of this researc

In order to study the transcriptional regulation of ANF, we have isolated the rat ANF gene and we have established a system of cardiocytes in primary cell culture for studies on the hormonal, tissue-specific and developmental regulation of the ANF gene.

The signaling pathways that regulate the fate of cells located in the anterior lateral (AL) region of the vertebrate embryo are not well understood.

The AL endoderm supplies key signaling molecules to promote the survival and differentiation of the precardiac mesoderm. These AL endoderm factors are know to up-regulate transcription factors, such as Nkx2--5, that regulate cardiac genes. However, little is known about how the AL endoderm is patterned and

Although the structure/function relationship is more documented, the physiological substrates and role in vivo are not.

Copper (Cu) deficiency was induced in rats and Hep G2 cells by the use of a Cu-deficient diet and a cupruretic chelator, respectively. In the rat liver, Cu-deficiency did not alter the apo A-I mRNA abundance, but shifted significant amounts of mRNA to translationally more active fractions. These findings indicated that an increase in translational efficiency may contribute to the increase in hepatic apo A-I synthesis observed in Cu-deficient rats. In Hep G2 cells, Cu-depletion elevated the cytoplasmic apo A-I mRNA abundance by 1.5-fold. A 2.5-fold increased transcription rate and a 2-fold acce

Abstract:
The epigenetic mechanisms that connect hormone signaling to chromatin remain largely unknown. Here we show that LSD1/KDM1A is a critical glucocorticoid receptor (GR) coactivator and report a previously unexplored mechanism where LSD1 activates gene transcription through H3K4me2 demethylation. We demonstrate that direct interaction of GR with LSD1 primarily inhibit its activity against H3K4me1 in vitro. While this interaction enables GR to recruit LSD1 in vivo and allows loss of H3K4me2, it impedes further demethylation. Thus resulting in conversion of H3K4me2 to H3K4me1 at enhancers and promot

Abstract:
The studies included in this thesis were aimed at identifying the mechanisms that lead to aberrant expression of the PTHRP gene in cancer.<br>We have used the hepatocyte growth factor receptor oncogene, Tpr-Met, as a model and examined the effect of this oncogene on PTHRP expression. When transfected into Fisher rat 313 (Fr3T3) fibroblasts, Tpr-Met increased the transcription of PTHRP mRNA and secretion of the protein. To identify the signaling pathways involved we analyzed a mutant of Tpr-Met, Tyr489, that was impaired in activating a number of downstream effectors, including Phosphatidylinos

Abstract:
<p> Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) are being increasingly recognized as critical regulators of a wide variety of processes in bacteria. To investigate the contribution of unknown sRNAs to virulence gene regulation in <i>Vibrio cholerae,</i> we undertook a screen to identify previously uncharacterized sRNAs under the control of the major virulence gene activator in <i> V. cholerae,</i> ToxT. Using a combination of direct sRNA cloning and sequencing together with a genome-wide ToxT <i>in vitro</i> binding assay, we identified 18 putative ToxT-regulated sRNAs. Two of these ToxT regulated sRNAs wer

Abstract:
The secosteroid hormone 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃) exerts its effects through a receptor protein which is a member of a superfamily of steroid receptor proteins. The 1,25(OH)₂D₃ receptor protein (VDR) binds both hormone and DNA with high affinity , thereby transcriptionally regulating the expression of a number of genes. A fragment of the cDNA to the human VDR containing essentially the entire open reading frame was transcribed and translated in vitro. demonstrated to exhibit The resulting protein was then the physical and functional features, i.e. molecular weight, immunoreactivi

One-carbon (C₁) metabolism. C₁ metabolism is central to all organisms, because C₁ units have essential roles in biosyntheses of basic materials for living cells, such as protein, nucleic acids, choline and its derivatives. One unique feature of plant C₁ metabolism is that it channels significant C₁ flux from primary carbon metabolism to methylated metabolites. Part I of this dissertation presents functional analysis of plant methyane-THF reductases (MTHFRs) in Arabidopsis and maize, and regulation of the plant C₁ metabolic pathway and glycine betaine (GlyBet) biosynthesis in maize GlyBet nea

Abstract:
Wilms' tumour, a pediatric kidney cancer that affects 1 in 10 000 children, is an excellent paradigm for studying the relationship between cancer and development. The Wilms' tumour suppressor 1 ( WT1) gene was identified through the study of hereditary cases of Wilms' tumour showing cytogenetic deletions at chromosome position 11p13. The WT1 gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor necessary for the development of the genitourinary system. WT1 functions as an activator or a repressor, interacts with a number of different protein partners and regulates the expression of several ge

Myeloid cells are important reservoirs of HIV-1 infection. In response to pathogenic agents, macrophages secrete inflammatory cytokines which can stimulate viral replication and contribute to AIDS pathogenesis. Two promonocytic cell models were used to investigate the relationship between NF-$ kappa$B dependent cytokine gene expression, differentiation, and HIV infection: the U937 and PLB-985 cell lines and their chronically infected counterparts U9-IIIB and PLB-IIIB. Chronic HIV-1 infection of U9-IIIB cells did not generally lead to constitutive transcription of cytokine genes. However, when

Abstract:
The c-myc gene was previously shown to be regulated by a conditional block to transcription elongation and sequences from its promoter were implicated in this regulation. The objective of this project was to define the promoter elements involved in the control of transcription elongation. Using heterologous promoter constructs, the ME1a1 protein binding site located in the c-myc promoter was shown to be required for the block to transcription elongation. From mutation analysis, a correlation was established between the binding of nuclear factors to ME1a1 sites in vitro and the ability of these
