Disease relevance of ATF3

 

High impact information on ATF3

  • Opposite responses of Id1 to TGFbeta and the related factor BMP are dictated by the specific ability of the TGFbeta mediator, Smad3, to activate expression of stress response factor ATF3 and then recruit this factor to the Id1 promoter [6].
  • A self-enabling TGFbeta response coupled to stress signaling: Smad engages stress response factor ATF3 for Id1 repression in epithelial cells [6].
  • Thus, ATF3 is a novel stress-activated regulator of p53 protein stability/function providing the cell with a means of responding to a wide range of environmental insult, thus maintaining DNA integrity and protecting against cell transformation [7].
  • Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is rapidly induced by diverse environmental insults including genotoxic stress [7].
  • In H2O2-stimulated NP31 cells as well as endothelial cells of glomerulus and aorta of Otsuka-Long-Evans-Tokushima-Fatty diabetic model rats, concomitantly enhanced expressions of ATF3, PAI-1, and p8 were observed [8].

Anatomical context of ATF3

 

Associations of ATF3 with chemical compounds

  • We showed that anisomycin at a low concentration activates the ATF3 promoter and stabilizes the ATF3 mRNA [17].
  • Analysis of ATF3 mRNA turnover revealed that the half-life was increased from about 1 h in control cells to greater than 8 h in the histidine-deprived state, demonstrating mRNA stabilization in response to nutrient deprivation [3].
  • Both amino acid limitation and activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response by glucose deprivation caused an increase in ATF3 mRNA content [18].
  • ATF3 protected these cells from tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced apoptosis, as measured by flow cytometric analysis, trypan blue exclusion assay, and cleavage of procaspase 3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase [4].
  • A possible mechanism implicating the C-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) stress-inducible signaling pathway in the induction of the ATF3 gene is discussed [17].
 

Physical interactions of ATF3

  • EGR-1 binds to the ATF3 promoter as assessed by gel shift assay [1].
  • Immunoprecipitation of HuR-RNA complexes followed by reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis showed that HuR interacted with ATF3 mRNA in vivo and that this interaction increased following amino acid limitation [3].
  • We recently reported that ATF3 interacts with the tumor suppressor p53 to increase its stability in the genotoxic response [19].
  • The ability of ATF3 to stabilize p53-induced pathways thus represents a means of effectively countering DNA damage caused by environmental insult the latter leading to oncogene activation and ultimately malignant transformation [19].
  • 1. LPS stimulation leads to an induction of ATF-3 and JunD factor binding to the CRE/AP-1 site [20].
 

Regulatory relationships of ATF3

 

Other interactions of ATF3

  • Collectively, the results provide evidence for a potential role of multiple predicted ATF3 isoforms in the transcriptional regulation of the ASNS gene in response to nutrient deprivation [18].
  • Assignment of UCK2, ATF3 and RGS18 from human chromosome 1 to porcine chromosomes 4, 9 and 10 with somatic and radiation hybrid panels [23].
  • ATF3 and EGR-1 may provide a novel explanation for the antitumorigenic properties of LY294002 in human colorectal cancer cells [1].
  • Progressive deletions of the MMP-2 promoter indicated a 38-base pair region (-1659/-1622) necessary for the ATF3-mediated repression [2].
  • Interaction of RNA-binding proteins HuR and AUF1 with the human ATF3 mRNA 3'-untranslated region regulates its amino acid limitation-induced stabilization [3].
