Disease relevance of Areg

 

Psychiatry related information on Areg

  • The effects of dexmedetomidine, a subtype-nonselective alpha 2-AR agonist, on monoamine turnover in brain and on locomotor activity were similar in mice with targeted inactivation of the alpha 2C-AR gene and in their controls, but the hypothermic effect of the alpha 2-AR agonist was significantly attenuated by the receptor gene inactivation [6].

Associations of Areg with chemical compounds

  • Other osteotropic hormones (1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and prostaglandin E2) also strongly stimulate AR expression [14].
  • Renal expression of two related growth factors, amphiregulin and heparin-binding EGF, has not been examined previously in PKD [2].
  • A single topical treatment of either 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or chrysarobin or a single full-thickness wound induced the expression of HB-EGF and AR in mRNA samples isolated from whole mouse skin [3].
  • Amphiregulin is an implantation-specific and progesterone-regulated gene in the mouse uterus [19].
  • The rapid induction of AR mRNA in the ovariectomized uterus only by P4 and abrogation of this induction by RU-486 (a P4 receptor antagonist) suggest that this uterine gene is regulated by P4 [19].

Regulatory relationships of Areg

 

Other interactions of Areg

  • We have synthesized novel, antisense mixed backbone oligonucleotides (AS MBOs) directed against TGFalpha, AR and CR [24].
  • Furthermore, variant Hepa-1 cells (TAOBP(r)c1 cells) virtually deficient in the AHR failed to display an increase in AREG mRNA in response to TCDD [4].
  • We also found intense CR-1 and AR mRNA expression and strong immunoreactivity in seven different carcinogen-induced and eight spontaneous mammary tumors [18].
  • We speculate that the therapeutic effect of WTACE2 could have been due to effects on several TACE targets, including TGF-alpha, AR, and ErbB4, as well as metalloproteinases other than TACE [25].
  • METHODS: Two independently generated transgenic mouse lines overexpress 50-, 43-, 28-, 26-, and 16-kilodalton AR forms in the pancreas [17].
