Disease relevance of Genes, jun

 

High impact information on Genes, jun

  • AP-1 consists of the products of the fos and jun oncogenes, which associate as dimers to bind TPA-responsive promoter elements (TRE) efficiently [6].
  • One consequence of MEF2C activation is increased c-jun gene transcription [7].
  • Because of the similarity between the recognition sites for GCN4 and AP-1, we examined the possibility that AP-1 could be the product of the c-jun proto-oncogene [8].
  • The protein products of the fos and jun proto-oncogenes form a heterodimeric complex that participates in a stable high affinity interaction with DNA elements containing AP-1 binding sites [9].
  • Transcriptional run-on assays revealed that treatment of serum-starved NKM-1 with 50 ng/ml G-CSF or M-CSF increased the transcription rate of the junB gene and the c-fos gene by 1.8-fold and 2.9-fold, respectively, but did not induce any transcript of the c-jun gene [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Genes, jun

 

Biological context of Genes, jun

 

Anatomical context of Genes, jun

  • Protein kinase C regulates proliferation of mast cells and the expression of the mRNAs of fos and jun proto-oncogenes during activation by IgE-Ag or calcium ionophore A23187 [17].
  • Moreover, treatment of T cells with actinomycin D to block further transcription before their culture with PWM suggests that the increase in c-jun gene expression by PWM is also regulated at least in part by a posttranscriptional mechanism [18].
  • Using the factor-dependent myelogenous leukemia cell lines GF-D8 and Mo7, we show that TGF-beta interferes with stem cell factor (SCF)-induced proliferation by downmodulating c-jun gene expression [19].
  • These results show transient induction of immediate-early response genes in B cells and support a potential role for the c-jun gene product in regulation of IL-6 transcription and secretion [20].
  • In accordance with the results obtained by analysis of the mRNA, we found that estrogen increases 3- to 4-fold c-jun gene transcription in the uterus, at the same time it induces its mRNA accumulation [21].
 

Associations of Genes, jun with chemical compounds

  • We found that As3+, but not As5+, which is toxic but not carcinogenic, is a potent stimulator of AP-1 transcriptional activity and an efficient inducer of c-fos and c-jun gene expression [22].
  • The jun gene lacks preserved coding domains of tyrosine-specific protein kinases [23].
  • Both proteins were found to contain a peptide sequence reminiscent of a leucine-repeat motif ("leucine-zipper") that is also found in the myc, fos, and jun oncogenes [24].
  • The DNA binding activity of the c-jun proto-oncogene product is inhibited by oxidation of a specific cysteine residue (Cys-252) in the DNA binding domain [25].
  • Platelet-derived growth factor-beta receptor was not phosphorylated on Ang II stimulation, and Ang II-induced c-jun gene expression was not affected by tyrphostin AG1478 [26].
 

Gene context of Genes, jun

  • Furthermore, we observed significant time-dependent increases in the expression of the c-fos and c-jun proto-oncogenes after addition of IGF-I (n = 5 per group, P <.05) [27].
  • Differential regulation of fos and jun gene expression and AP-1 cis-element activity by endothelin isopeptides. Possible implications for mitogenic signaling by endothelin [28].
  • In addition, although the c-jun proto-oncogene product was detected in stimulated human T cells, two additional T cell-specific proteins (45 and 43 kDa) bind to the GM-CSF, IL-3, and IL-5 promoters and are functionally and immunologically distinct from c-jun or OAP40 (jun-D) [29].
  • Because HDAC inhibitors suppressed the induction of c-jun gene expression, resulting in reduced COX-2 transcription, it was important to determine whether other known AP-1 target genes were also modulated [30].
  • Tumor necrosis factor-alpha induces expression of monocyte chemoattractant JE via fos and jun genes in clonal osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells [31].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Genes, jun

  • Nonetheless, the ligation-mediated PCR technology was used here to demonstrate, at nucleotide resolution, that p53-/-p21+/+ DLD1 excises UVB-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers from the c-jun proto-oncogene at a significantly lower rate than the isogenic p53-/-p21-/- derivative [32].
  • Western blotting analysis of c-Fos and c-Jun suggested that up-regulation of c-fos and c-jun gene expression does not directly contribute to the induction of AP-1 activation [33].
  • Northern blot analysis revealed that lack of BGP mRNA expression was associated with expression of both c-fos and c-jun proto-oncogenes in SOS [5].
  • Coronal hypothalamic sections and control ovarian tissues were incubated with 45-mer oligonucleotide probes complementary to porcine c-fos and c-jun genes using standard in situ hybridization histochemistry techniques [34].
  • DNA array analysis revealed that expression of genes such as the RhoG and D4-GDI genes was down-regulated in TEL-overexpressing cells, while that of the representative growth-related genes such as the c-myc, c-fos and c-jun genes was not remarkably changed [35].
