Disease relevance of muristerone a

  • In order to study the function of p21waf in a p53-deficient environment, we established an inducible expression of p21waf in the p53-null lung cancer cell line H1299, based on the muristerone-regulated system [1].

Associations of muristerone a with other chemical compounds

  • Two Drosophila imaginal disc cell lines, C18+ (sensitive to 20-hydroxyecdysone, 20HE) and C18R (resistant to 20HE) were exposed to the ecdysteroid agonists RH5849 and RH5992 and the ecdysteroids inokosterone, makisterone A and muristerone A [14].
  • Functionally active NMDA receptors were also detected in EcR/rNR1a2B cells after MuA induction [15].
  • Each of the EcR variants responded to the synthetic ecdysteroid, muristerone A (murA), but a maximal response to 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) was achieved only for specific EcR combinations with its heterodimeric partner [16].
  • The two ecdysone analogs, muristerone A and ponasterone A, induced D2L receptor expression dose-dependently from 120 (non-induced) to 2000 fmol/mg protein which is similar to physiological D2 receptor density in dopaminergic brain regions [17].
 

Gene context of muristerone a

  • To check inducibility, NR2A subunit expression in D5/H3 cells treated with the inducing agent muristerone A (MuA) was compared with that in non-induced cells [18].
  • The mRNA level of the NR2B subunits in EcR/rNRa2B cells was dependent on the concentration of the ecdysone analogue inducing agent, muristerone A (MuA) [15].
  • Similarly, two transcription-regulation systems, muristerone-regulated and Tet-On, were tested to control the expression of CC8 [19].
  • We have developed a human kidney embryonic cell line (EcRG293) that expresses high-affinity GnRH receptor under the control of an inducible promoter activated by muristerone A [6].
  • Addition of muristerone A induced a dose-dependent decrease in the viability of cells transfected with wild-type BAX, but this loss of viability was inhibited in cells transfected with BAX mutants [5].
