项目摘要

Growth factors induce cell proliferation in hepatocytes by stimulating progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Induction of cyclin D1 expression is a critical feature of the mitogenic action of growth factors. Recently, we have reported that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) additively stimulate a Ras/MAPK pathway, resulting in additive enhancement of cyclin D1 expression in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. In the present study, we isolated the rat cyclin D1 gene 5'-flanking sequence and identified two transcriptional regulatory regions by transient transfection studies using dRLh84 rat hepatoma cells. One (CD1CRE) was mapped to a potential cAMP-responsive element (CRE) at position -41 bp, while another (CD1E0.7) was located 753 bp upstream of the initiation site. Electrophoretic gel mobility shift assays (EMSAs) indicated that a protein binding to the CD1CRE was a CREB.In contrast, competition EMSA showed that CD1E0.7 did not interact with hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-3β, nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT), or the Ets family, although CD1E0.7 revealed high homology with a binding site for these nuclear factors through a computer search. Moreover, the specific interaction of CD1E0.7 with a protein extracted from primary cultured rat hepatocytes treated with HGF or EGF was detected. These results indicate that CREB binds to CD1CRE and mediates the activation of the cyclin D1 promoter in rat hepatoma cells, and suggest that CD1E0.7 is possibly occupied by a transcription factor induced by growth factors in rat hepatocytes.

生长因子通过刺激细胞周期 G1 期的进展来诱导肝细胞增殖，这是生长因子促有丝分裂作用的一个关键特征。生长因子 (EGF) 额外刺激 Ras/MAPK 通路，导致原代培养的大鼠肝细胞中细胞周期蛋白 D1 表达的额外增强。在本研究中，我们分离了大鼠细胞周期蛋白。 D1 基因 5' 侧翼序列，并通过使用 dRLh84 大鼠肝癌细胞的瞬时转染研究鉴定了两个转录调控区域，其中一个 (CD1CRE) 被映射到位置 -41 bp 处的潜在 cAMP 响应元件 (CRE)，而另一个 (CD1E0. 7) 位于起始位点上游 753 bp 处，电泳凝胶迁移率变动分析 (EMSA) 表明与 CD1CRE 结合的蛋白质是 a。 CREB。相比之下，竞争EMSA显示CD1E0.7不与肝细胞核因子（HNF）-3β、活化T细胞核因子（NF-AT）或Ets家族相互作用，尽管CD1E0.7与通过计算机搜索这些核因子的结合位点，并且检测到CD1E0.7与从经HGF或EGF处理的原代培养的大鼠肝细胞中提取的蛋白质的特异性相互作用。与 CD1CRE 结合并介导大鼠肝癌细胞中细胞周期蛋白 D1 启动子的激活，表明 CD1E0.7 可能被大鼠肝细胞中生长因子诱导的转录因子占据。
