Disease relevance of Uroguanylin

 

High impact information on Uroguanylin

 

Biological context of Uroguanylin

  • Finally, telemetric recordings of blood pressure demonstrated increased mean arterial pressure in uroguanylin knockout animals that was independent of the level of dietary salt intake [5].
  • To explore the in vivo role of uroguanylin in the regulation of sodium excretion, we created gene-targeted mice in which uroguanylin gene expression had been ablated [5].
  • ST or uroguanylin inhibited proliferation of T84 and Caco2 cells, but not SW480 cells, in a concentration-dependent fashion, assessed by quantifying cell number, cell protein, and [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into DNA [6].
  • High mucosal acidity, similar to the pH occurring within the fluid microclimate domain at the mucosal surface of the intestine, markedly enhances the cGMP accumulation responses of T84 human intestinal cells to uroguanylin [7].
  • For uroguanylin two distinct signaling pathways exist in IHKE-1 cells, one involves GC-C and cGMP as second messenger, the other is cGMP-independent and connected to a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein [3].

Gene context of Uroguanylin

  • Uroguanylin expression was significantly lower in GC-C-/- mice than in GC-A-/- and wild-types, suggesting that absence of a receptor was able to down-regulate ligand expression [15].
  • Membrane guanylate cyclase C (GC-C) is the receptor for guanylin, uroguanylin, and heat-stable enterotoxin (STa) in the intestine [3].
  • GCAP-II: isolation and characterization of the circulating form of human uroguanylin [16].
  • The upstream promoter sequence of the mouse uroguanylin gene contains a canonical TATA element at the site of transcription initiation and consensus binding sites for several known transcription factors, including HNF-1 and Sp1 within the first 1 kb [17].
  • The intestinal peptide hormone uroguanylin regulates electrolyte/fluid transport in the gastrointestinal epithelium by binding to its receptor, guanylate cyclase C (GC-C), and thus specifically coupling to activation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) [18].
