Disease relevance of E2f1

  • Transactivation of E2F-regulated genes by polyomavirus large T antigen: evidence for a two-step mechanism [1].
  • These results suggest that cyclin E, cdk2, cdk5 and E2F-1 play the roles in the G1/S transition being expressed by a common cellular mechanism(s) in the PRL-stimulated pre-T lymphoma cells [2].
  • The S-phase inhibitory activity of PSM-RB could be attenuated by the coinjection of SV40 T-antigen, adenovirus E1A, or a high level of E2F-1 expression plasmids [3].
  • We thus demonstrate two distinct cell cycle responses to low oxygen and suggest that alterations that lead to increased E2F can overcome hypoxic G1 arrest but that additional alterations, promoted by E1a expression, are necessary for neoplastic cells to proliferate despite anoxia [4].
  • Reductions in cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)2 (82%) and CDK4 (77%) kinase activity in ER carcinomas were likely to account for the observed effects on retinoblastoma and E2F-1 [5].
 

High impact information on E2f1

  • We demonstrate that adenoviral vectors that contain transgenes driven by the E2F-1 promoter can mediate tumor-selective gene expression in vivo, allowing for eradication of established gliomas with significantly less normal tissue toxicity than seen with standard adenoviral vectors [6].
  • Here we show that p130 is the predominant Rb family member associated with E2F in neurons, that its major partner for repression of pro-apoptotic genes is E2F4, and that the p130-E2F4 complex recruits the chromatin modifiers HDAC1 and Suv39H1 to promote gene silencing and neuron survival [7].
  • Such derepression, rather than direct E2F-promoted gene activation, is required for death [8].
  • Role of c-fos and E2F in the induction of cyclin A transcription and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation [9].
  • The ability of B-Myb to interact with the cdc2 promoter is dependent on an intact E2F binding site [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of E2f1

  • No apparent toxicity such as inflammation could be detected in blood vessels transfected with E2F decoy ODN with Optison and ultrasound [11].
  • These data indicate that hyperglycemia contributes to abnormal proliferation of VSMC by two mechanisms; the induction of NF-kappaB activation by Ang II, which facilitates transcription of certain growth factors, and the augmentation of E2F-1 in response to growth factors [12].
  • Hyperglycemia enhances VSMC proliferation with NF-kappaB activation by angiotensin II and E2F-1 augmentation by growth factors [12].
 

Biological context of E2f1

  • Hence, pocket protein binding by E1A might engage mechanisms for cell cycle reentry beyond those induced by E2F-1 [13].
  • Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1)-induced hepatocyte apoptosis is associated with activation of E2F transcription factors and p53 stabilization through Mdm-2, thus potentially modulating a number of target genes [14].
  • The viral protein causes a dissociation of E2F-pocket protein complexes that results in transactivation of the genes [1].
  • The decrease in RB expression and phosphorylation, which is essential in triggering DNA synthesis and Cyclin A expression, leads to a deficiency in transcriptionally active E2F complex formation after hepatectomy [15].
  • RESULTS: E2F1 increased 20-fold in G1/S phase transition [16].
 

Anatomical context of E2f1

  • E1A can evoke G1 exit in cardiac myocytes and other cell types by displacing E2F transcription factors from tumor suppressor "pocket" proteins and by a less well-characterized p300-dependent pathway [13].
  • Thus, E2F-1-induced Cdk2 function was necessary, although not sufficient, to trigger DNA synthesis in cardiac muscle cells [13].
  • E2F1 regulates the mesangial cell cycle through two distinct pathways [16].
  • Differences in E2F subunit expression in quiescent and proliferating vascular smooth muscle cells [17].
  • Indeed, overexpression of E2F proteins, including the E2F1 and E2F2 products, induces DNA synthesis in quiescent fibroblasts [18].
 

Associations of E2f1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of E2f1

  • Analysis of the transcription factor E2F complexes formed in the promoter regions of cdc2 and dihydrofolate reductase genes showed that the amount of complexes formed is maximal at the G1/S boundary, but decreases in S phase when these genes are transcribed extensively [22].
 

Regulatory relationships of E2f1

  • Although this could represent a response to aberrant cell cycle progression, we show that only E2F1 induces apoptosis and that this coincides with an ability of E2F1 to induce accumulation of p53 protein [18].
  • These experiments revealed that deregulated E2F-1 expression triggers high levels of cyclin E and A expression and kinase activities in small early G1 cells, normally not exhibiting these activities [23].
  • Deregulated expression of E2F-1 induces cyclin A- and E-associated kinase activities independently from cell cycle position [23].
 

Other interactions of E2f1

  • RESULTS: The activity of Cdk2, the protein amount of pRB, Ser795 phosphorylation of pRB, and the protein amount of E2F1 were all increased compared with the sham-treated control subjects, and these increases were enhanced with the increasing number of ECS [24].
  • FBS induced upregulation of E2F-1 and E2F-5 at both mRNA and protein levels and slightly reduced E2F-3 protein [17].
  • In nodules and/or HCCs of Wistar and BN rats, low or no increases in c-myc, Cyclins D1, E, and A, and E2F1 expression, and Cyclin-CDKs complex formation were associated with p16(INK4A) overexpression and pRb hypophosphorylation [25].
  • As determined by appropriate combinations of immunoprecipitations, Western blots, and kinase activity assays, it was found that levels of phosphorylated retinoblastoma and E2F-1 were significantly reduced by ER (approximately 40 and 75%, respectively; P < 0.01), an effect that was partially reversed by ER-REP [5].
  • In conclusion, the results demonstrate that Abeta-induced apoptosis of PC12 cells proceeds through an E2F-1/p53/Bax pathway, which, in turn, can be specifically inhibited by TUDCA, thus underscoring its potential therapeutic use [20].
