Disease relevance of Tcfcp2

 

High impact information on Tcfcp2

  • Erythroid cell-specific alpha-globin gene regulation by the CP2 transcription factor family [3].
  • CP2b has an erythroid cell-specific transcriptional activation domain, which requires the extra exon and can form heteromeric complexes with other CP2 isoforms, but lacks the DNA binding activity found in CP2a and CP2c [3].
  • LBP-1a and CP2 are ubiquitously expressed members of the grainyhead transcription factor family, sharing significant sequence homology, a common DNA binding motif, and modulating a range of key regulatory and structural genes [4].
  • Here, we show that a grainyhead-related transcription factor, CP2-like 1 (CP2L1), is required for the maturation of the ducts of the salivary gland and kidney [5].
  • When murine bone marrow cells were treated with 5-FU plus LSF, release of this inhibitor of CFU-GM proliferation was blocked [2].
 

Biological context of Tcfcp2

 

Anatomical context of Tcfcp2

 

Associations of Tcfcp2 with chemical compounds

  • We tested the effect of LSF (100 mg/kg i.p., b.i.d.) on multilineage regeneration after high-dose 5-FU or thiotepa treatment in BALB/c mice [2].
  • METHODS: Based on a median split of sucrose intake during a final 1-h feeding test session, male Wistar rats were designated as either low (LSF) or high sucrose feeders (HSF) [10].
  • Lisofylline [(R)-1-(5-hydroxyhexyl)-3,7-dimethylxanthine; LSF] selectively inhibits generation of selected species of PA in P388 cells induced by TNF alpha, IL-1 beta or LPS [11].
 

Other interactions of Tcfcp2

  • We recently cloned human and murine cDNAs that encode CP2, a transcription factor that interacts with the murine alpha-globin promoter [6].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tcfcp2

  • Sequence analysis of the proximal promoter region revealed several potential regulatory elements; these include the recognition elements of Sp1, Nkx, CP2, E2A, SIF (SIS-inducible factor), TFII-I and cAMP-responsive element (CRE), but no TATA sequences [12].
  • RESULTS: Data from this experiment revealed augmented responding in HSF compared with LSF during acquisition of amphetamine self-administration [10].
  • LSF has a marked protective effect in a variety of acute inflammatory animal models that may be due to inhibition of this shared second messenger pathway involving PA [11].
