Zusammenfassung: | Participation of the nuclear matrix in regulation of alfa-2-macroglobulin (alfa2M) gene transcription during rat liver development and the acute-phase (AP) response are examined. DNA affinity chromatography of fetal and adult liver internal nuclear matrix proteins under basal and AP conditions with the alfa2M gene promotor (-852/+12) and immunoblot analysis revealed diverse patterns of association of transcription factors with the nuclear matrix. HNF-6, C/EBPalfa, and STAT5b were involved in basal and C/EBPbeta, STAT1, and STAT3 in AP-stimulated alfa2M expression. These findings support the assuption that transcription factor-nuclear matrix interactions serve to channel gene regulatory proteins to DNA sequences. |
