High impact information on CIDEC

  • The FSP27 promoter confers adipocyte-specific expression to a heterologous reporter gene in transfected adipogenic cell lines, e.g. TA1 and 3T3-L1 [1].
  • Analysis of regulatory elements in the FSP27 promoter region indicates the presence of (a) a proximal palindromic sequence that is necessary for adipocyte-specific expression; and (b) a distal differentiation-independent enhancer-like element [1].
  • Alternative splicing of the CIDE-3 gene was also identified by reverse transcription PCR, revealing that two transcripts, CIDE-3 and CIDE-3alpha, were present in HepG2 and A375 cells [2].
  • Apoptosis-inducing activity was clearly shown by DNA-fragmentation assay of the nuclear DNA of CIDE-3 transfected 293T cells [2].
  • Consistent with its chromosome localization at 3p25, a region associated with high frequency loss of heterozygosity in many tumours, CIDE-3 may play an important role in prevention of tumorigenesis [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CIDEC

  • Molecular cloning and characterization of CIDE-3, a novel member of the cell-death-inducing DNA-fragmentation-factor (DFF45)-like effector family [2].
  • In this study human CIDE-3, a novel member of CIDEs, was identified upon sequence analysis of a previously unidentified cDNA that encoded a protein of 238 amino acids [2].
