Disease relevance of Actb

  • CO in hypoxia downregulated sm-alpha-actin and strongly upregulated beta-actin [1].
  • The expressions of glyseraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), beta-actin, cyclophilin, and RPL13A were examined in order to validate the appropriate housekeeping genes for a long duration after inducing cerebral ischemia [2].
  • PTH receptor, beta-actin, and cyclophilin mRNA levels all decreased after ischemia [3].
  • Strikingly large elevations in the steady-state levels of beta-actin mRNA in CCl4-treated liver were also observed, which may be related to the known regenerative processes associated with acute liver toxicity [4].
  • Correlation of beta-actin messenger RNA localization with metastatic potential in rat adenocarcinoma cell lines [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Actb

 

High impact information on Actb

  • The mRNA of AQP2 was increased early during pregnancy: AQP2/beta actin: P7 196+/-17.9, P14 200+/-6.8, and P20 208+/-15.5%, P < 0.005 vs. NP (100+/-11.1%) [8].
  • Addition of TGF beta 1 was associated with increased expression of beta-actin when standardized to a constitutive transcript (GAPDH) [9].
  • Increases in both "high" and "low" affinity sites were seen, with no changes in the apparent Kd's. Total RNA, beta-actin mRNA, and EGF-R mRNA were increased 50-70% in ethanol exposed cells [10].
  • Accumulation of strand breaks was not observed in other exons of the p53 gene, in the Apc and beta-actin genes, or at the genomic level [11].
  • RNA was prepared from the duodenum, and peptide and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of CCK, somatostatin, and beta-actin were analyzed by hybridization with complementary DNA probes [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Actb

 

Biological context of Actb

  • The nucleotide sequence of the rat beta-actin gene was determined [16].
  • Transfection of an EGFP construct, also with the zipcode, resulted in recruitment of endogenous ZBP1 and beta-actin mRNA into dendrites and similarly increased the density of dendritic filopodia [17].
  • Normalization using Actb most appropriately explained the expression levels in a congenic strain for chromosome 3. eQTL analysis with precise measurement of expression levels and appropriate normalization was shown to be effective for mapping loci that control gene expression in vivo [18].
  • In particular, the genes coding for the minimum motility machine that regulates beta-actin polymerization at the leading edge and, therefore, the motility and chemotaxis of carcinoma cells, were dramatically up-regulated [19].
  • Activity-dependent trafficking and dynamic localization of zipcode binding protein 1 and beta-actin mRNA in dendrites and spines of hippocampal neurons [20].
 

Anatomical context of Actb

  • We investigated the molecular mechanism and function of beta-actin mRNA localization in dendrites of cultured hippocampal neurons [17].
  • Previous studies have shown that beta-actin mRNA localization to the leading edge of fibroblasts or the growth cones of developing neurites involved a specific interaction between a zipcode sequence in the 3' untranslated region and the mRNA-binding protein zipcode-binding protein-1 (ZBP1) [17].
  • Extremely high expression of beta-actin mRNA in osteoclasts resorbing alveolar bone located at the distal area of the developing molar tooth germ in newborn rats [21].
  • Localization of a beta-actin messenger ribonucleoprotein complex with zipcode-binding protein modulates the density of dendritic filopodia and filopodial synapses [17].
  • By use of in situ hybridization, we obtained clear data showing that osteoclasts facing the distal part of a developing molar tooth germ expressed extremely high levels of beta-actin mRNA in comparison with other osteoclasts observed in the mandibular bone surface [21].
 

Associations of Actb with chemical compounds

 

Co-localisations of Actb

  • A population of ZBP1 granules colocalized with beta-actin mRNA, and their spatial association in dendrites was increased by KCl depolarization [20].
 

Regulatory relationships of Actb

  • Knockdown of SMA (70% reduction) using RNA interference did not affect beta-actin but inhibited force-induced p38 phosphorylation by 50% [27].
  • The TRH-induced increases in c-fos and beta-actin mRNA may play a role in the secretory response [15].
  • Renal B2KR and TGF-beta mRNA levels expressed relative to beta-actin mRNA levels and CTGF and TGF-betaRII protein levels were significantly increased in D and D+I rats compared with C rats (P < 0.03, n = 5) [28].
  • The rats of transcription of both beta- and gamma-actin mRNAs were stimulated by T3 during the early phase but that of beta-actin mRNAs was relatively more sensitive to T3 than gamma-actin mRNA [29].
 

Other interactions of Actb

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Actb

  • To address this question we have used Edman sequencing and western blotting to identify six rat brain proteins that bind the beta-actin element (zipcode) [33].
  • Liver samples were collected for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of mRNA (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, iNOS, and beta-actin) [34].
  • In the quantitative polymerase chain reaction study, a comparison of the ratio of AQP2 and beta-actin mRNA (MAQP2/Mbeta-actin) was made between water-injected and OPC-31260-injected rats [35].
  • Results were normalized to expression of rat beta-actin by quantitative densitometry of autoradiograms [36].
  • ANP mRNA level per pair of atria (related to total atrial RNA), determined by liquid hybridization (controlled by northern blot analysis), was increased by 38% in infarcted rats (p less than 0.05 vs. controls), but the ratio of atrial ANP mRNA relative to atrial beta-actin mRNA levels was not increased [37].
