These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 16 June 2020; Accepted: 3 July 2020; Published: 6 July 2020 Abstract: Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a transcription factor that regulates the cellular defense against toxic and oxidative insults through the expression of genes involved in oxidative stress response and drug detoxification. NRF2 activation renders cells resistant to chemical carcinogens and inflammatory challenges. In addition to antioxidant responses, NRF2 is involved in many other cellular processes, including metabolism and inflammation, and its functions are beyond the originally envisioned. NRF2 activity is tightly regulated through a complex transcriptional and post-translational network that enables it to orchestrate the cell’s response and adaptation to various pathological stressors for the homeostasis maintenance. Elevated or decreased NRF2 activity by pharmacological and genetic manipulations of NRF2 activation is associated with many metabolism- or inflammation-related diseases. Emerging evidence shows that NRF2 lies at the center of a complex regulatory network and establishes NRF2 as a truly pleiotropic transcription factor. Here we summarize the complex regulatory network of NRF2 activity and its roles in metabolic reprogramming, unfolded protein response, proteostasis, autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, inflammation, and immunity. Keywords: NRF2; metabolism; UPR; oxidative stress; inflammation; autophagy; proteostasis; transcription factor 1. Introduction Homeostasis is key to organismal health and survival. Environmental stress is ubiquitous and unavoidable to all living beings and threatens to disrupt cell functions. Organisms respond and adapt to stresses through defined regulatory mechanisms. The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is best known as one of the main orchestrators of the cellular xenobiotic and oxidative stress response. NRF2, encoded by the gene nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 (NFE2L2), belongs to the Cap’n’Collar (CNC) subfamily of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors, which comprises nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2 (NFE2) and NRF1, NRF2, and NRF3 [1]. NRF2 possesses seven conserved NRF2-ECH homology (Neh) domains with different functions to control NRF2 transcriptional activity (Figure1A). The bZip in the Neh1 domain heterodimerizes with small musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma proteins (sMAF) K, G, and F as well as other bZip proteins to recognize antioxidant response elements (ARE) for activation of gene transcription, whereas the Neh2 domain contains ETGE and DLG motifs that specifically interact with Kelch domain of Int.

Chem. 280(13): 13163-13170. http://www.jbc.org/cgi/content/abstract/280/13/13163 Although GATA-1 and GATA-2 were shown to be essential for the development of hematopoietic cells by gene targeting experiments, they were also reported to inhibit the growth of hematopoietic cells. Therefore, in this study, we examined the effects of GATA-1 and GATA-2 on cytokine signals. A tamoxifen-inducible form of GATA-1 (GATA-1/ERT) showed a minor inhibitory effect on interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent growth of an IL-3-dependent cell line Ba/F3. On the other hand, it drastically inhibited TPO-dependent growth and gp130-mediated growth/survival of Ba/F3. Similarly, an estradiol-inducible form of GATA-2 (GATA-2/ER) disrupted thrombopoietin (TPO)-dependent growth and gp130-mediated growth/survival of Ba/F3. As for this mechanism, we found that both GATA-1 and GATA-2 directly bound to STAT3 both in vitro and in vivo and inhibited its DNA-binding activity in gel shift assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, whereas they hardly affected STAT5 activity. In addition, endogenous GATA-1 was found to interact with STAT3 in normal megakaryocytes, suggesting that GATA-1 may inhibit STAT3 activity in normal hematopoietic cells.

Homozygous mutant mice in which exons 10 and 11 of the Brca2 gene were deleted by gene targeting (Brca2 I°-11) die before day 9.5 of embryogenesis. Mutant phenotypes range from severely developmentally retarded embryos that do not gastrulate to embryos with reduced size that make mesoderm and survive until 8.5 days of development. Although apoptosis is normal, cellular proliferation is impaired in Brca2 ~°-H mutants, both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 is increased. Thus, Brca2 l°-H mutants are similar in phenotype to Brcal 5-6 mutants but less severely affected.

Selleck Professor and Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Genome-wide measurements of epigenetic features such as histone modifications, occupancy by transcription factors and coactivators provide the opportunity to understand more globally how genes are regulated. While much effort is being put into integrating the marks from various combinations of features, the contribution of each feature to accuracy of enhancer prediction is not known. We began with predictions of 4,915 candidate erythroid enhancers based on genomic occupancy by TAL1, a key hematopoietic transcription factor that is strongly associated with gene induction in erythroid cells. Seventy of these DNA segments occupied by TAL1 (TAL1 OSs) were tested by transient transfections of cultured hematopoietic cells, and 56% of these were active as enhancers. Sixty-six TAL1 OSs were evaluated in transgenic mouse embryos, and 65% of these were active enhancers in various tissues.

  • CYP2A6) by P53
    Transcriptional Regulation of Human Stress Responsive Cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) by p53 Hao Hu M.Biotech. (Biotechnology) 2012 The University of Queensland B.B.A. 2009 University of Electronic Science and Technology of China B.Sc. (Pharmacy) 2009 University of Electronic Science and Technology of China A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Medicine ABSTRACT Human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 is highly expressed in the liver and the encoding gene is regulated by various stress activated transcription factors, such as the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf-2). Unlike the other xenobiotic metabolising CYP enzymes (XMEs), CYP2A6 only plays a minor role in xenobiotic metabolism. The CYP2A6 is highly induced by multiple forms of cellular stress conditions, where XMEs expression is normally inhibited. Recent findings suggest that the CYP2A6 plays an important role in regulating BR homeostasis. A computer based sequence analysis on the 3 kb proximate CYP2A6 promoter revealed several putative binding sites for p53, a protein that mediates regulation of antioxidant and apoptosis pathways. In this study, the role of p53 in CYP2A6 gene regulation is demonstrated. The site closest to transcription start site (TSS) is highly homologous with the p53 consensus sequence. The p53 responsiveness of this site was confirmed by transfections with various stepwise deleted of CYP2A6-5’-Luc constructs containing the putative p53RE. Deletion of the putative p53RE resulted in a total abolishment of p53 responsiveness of CYP2A6 promoter. Specific binding of p53 to the putative p53RE was detected by electrophoresis mobility shift assay.

  • BRCA1 and BRCA2 Full Gene Sequence Analysis and Common Deletion/Duplication Variants
    BRCA1 and BRCA2 Full Gene Sequence Analysis and Common Deletion/Duplication Variants Testing includes full gene sequencing of exons and 25 base pairs of introns of BRCA 1 and 2 and the common deletions of BRCA1 (exon 13 del 3.835kb, exon 13 dup 6kb, exon 14-20 del 26kb, exon 22 del 510bp, exon 8-9 del 7.1kb). Sequencing does not include the promoter, enhancers or splicing modulators in intronic regions. Deletion duplication analysis is limited to the commonly reported variants; refer to full deletion/duplication testing. Indication: This testing is indicated for individuals that meet the criteria for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer listed in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. For assistance with interpreting guidelines, please contact Henry Ford Precision Genomic Diagnostics, or refer to genetic counseling for evaluation. Testing on minors is not indicated. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes that code for proteins that help repair DNA damage. Inherited mutations in BRCA 1 or 2, in combination with additional acquired mutations, can result in increased risk for developing cancer. Specific mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and have been associated with increased risk of several additional types of cancer. BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations account for about 20 to 25 percent of hereditary breast cancers and about 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancers. In addition, BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for about 15 percent of ovarian cancers overall. Breast and ovarian cancers associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations tend to develop at younger ages than their nonhereditary counterparts.

Instead, they oxidize copro- from uroporphyrinogen III, can be further metabolized by suc- porphyrinogen to coproporphyrin, insert ferrous iron to make Fe- cessive demethylation and decarboxylation to yield protoheme (14, coproporphyrin (coproheme), and then decarboxylate coproheme 15) (Fig. 1 and Fig. S1). A similar pathway exists for protoheme- to generate protoheme. This pathway is specified by three genes containing archaea (15, 16). named hemY, hemH, and hemQ. The analysis of 982 representa- Current gene annotations suggest that all enzymes for pro- tive prokaryotic genomes is consistent with this pathway being karyotic heme synthetic pathways are now identified.
