Gene Regulatory

Participation of the nuclear matrix in regulation of alpha-2-macroglobulin (?2M) gene transcription during rat liver development and the acute-phase (AP) response are examined. DNA affinity chromatography of fetal and adult liver internal nuclear matrix proteins under basal and AP conditions with the ?2M gene promoter (-852/+12) and immunoblot analysis revealed diverse patterns of association of transcription factors with the nuclear matrix. HNF-6, C/EBP?, and STAT5b were involved in basal and C/EBP?, STAT1, and STAT3 in AP-stimulated ?2M expression. These findings support the assumption that transcription factor-nuclear matrix interactions serve to channel gene regulatory proteins to DNA sequences.

The Cross

To detect the interactions of DNA with the nuclear matrix proteins, DNA-protein cross-linkages were induced in intact nuclei from chicken liver by the use of cis-diammine dichloroplatinum. Methods have been devised for fast purification both of the proteins and of the DNA fragments involved in the cross-linked complexes. By Southern-Western blotting a number of matrix proteins isolated from the complexes have been shown to recognize specifically DNA sequences present in the cross-linked DNA fragments. This experimental approach not only allows to identify the nuclear matrix-DNA interactions existing in the nucleus before its disruption, but also provides a preparation of matrix proteins enriched in those species which are involved in such interactions and which can therefore be detected with high sensitivity.

The binding of [14C]benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) to DNA and proteins in total nuclei and subnuclear fractions of cultured rat hepatocytes was compared. The main targets of B[a]P were non-histone high molecular weight proteins of the nuclear matrix and DNA sequences attached to this structure. Following 24 h exposure to B[a]P the amounts of adducts in the nuclear matrix DNA and proteins were twice as high as in total nuclei. After withdrawal of the carcinogen containing medium the level of B[a]P-induced adducts gradually decreased but always remained the highest in the nuclear matrix proteins. Removal of adducts from the nuclear matrix DNA was more efficient than from the other DNA fractions, and 72 h after exposure to the carcinogen the level of DNA adducts in this fraction was similar to that in total nuclei.

Denaturing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC) is a relatively new method used for screening DNA sequences, characterized by high capacity to detect mutations/polymorphisms. This study is focused on the Transgenomic WAVETM DNA Fragment Analysis (based on DHPLC separation method) of a 485 bp fragment from human EC-SOD gene promoter in order to detect single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) associated with atherosclerosis and risk factors of cardiovascular disease. The fragment of interest was amplified by PCR reaction and analyzed by DHPLC in 100 healthy subjects and 70 patients characterized by atheroma. No different melting profiles were detected for the analyzed DNA samples. A combination of computational methods was used to predict putative transcription factors in the fragment of interest. Several putative transcription factors binding sites from the Ets-1 oncogene family: ETS member Elk-1, polyomavirus enhancer activator-3 (PEA3), protein C-Ets-1 (Ets-1), GABP: GA binding protein (GABP), Spi-1 and Spi-B/PU.1 related transcription factors, from the Krueppel-like family: Gut-enriched Krueppel-like factor (GKLF), Erythroid Krueppel-like factor (EKLF), Basic Krueppel-like factor (BKLF), GC box and myeloid zinc finger protein MZF-1 were identified in the evolutionary conserved regions. The bioinformatics results need to be investigated further in others studies by experimental approaches.
