Regulation of gene expression is integral to the development and survival of all organisms. Transcription begins with the assembly of a pre-initiation complex at the gene promoter, followed by initiation of RNA synthesis and the transition to productive elongation. In many cases, recruitment of RNA ...

Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), an innate immunity gene, is involved in responses to several pulmonary agonists including endotoxin (LPS; Poltorak et al.,1998), ozone (O3 ,Kleeberger et. al., 2001), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Faure et al, 2004), and hyperoxia (Zhang et al, 2005). TLR4 appears to partially...

Tristetraprolin (TTP) is a tandem CCCH zinc finger protein that was identified through its rapid induction by mitogens in fibroblasts. Studies of TTP-deficient mice, and cells derived from them, showed that TTP could bind to certain AU-rich elements in mRNAs, leading to increases in the rates of mRN...

A proposed membrane-mediated mechanism of rapid non genomic response to estrogen has been the intense focus of recent research. Estren (Es), a synthetic steroid, is reported to act selectively through a rapid membrane-mediated pathway, rather than through the classical nuclear estrogen receptor (ER...

Glucocorticoids regulate diverse physiologic processes and synthetic derivatives of these natural hormones are widely used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. However, chronic administration often triggers insensitivity and serious side effects including osteoporosis. The underlying mechanis...

Farnesol (FOH) and other isoprenoid alcohols induce apoptosis in various carcinoma cells and inhibit tumorigenesis in several in vivo models. However, the mechanisms by which these isoprenoids mediate their effects are not yet fully understood. In this study, we show that FOH is effective inducer of...

Microarray analysis was performed in order to identify changes in gene expression in thymocytes isolated from RORg-/- mice in comparison to those of wild type mice. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analyses were carried out by the NIEHS Microarray Group (NMG). Gene expression analysis was condu...

Previously, we described a mouse model where the well-known reproductive carcinogen, diethylstilbestrol (DES), caused uterine adenocarcinoma following neonatal treatment. Tumor incidence was dose-dependent reaching >90% by 18 mo. following 1000 µg/kg/day of DES. These tumors followed the initiation...

Retinoid-related orphan receptors RORalpha and RORgamma are both expressed in liver; however, their physiological functions have not yet been clearly defined. RORalpha1 and RORgamma1, but not RORalpha4, show an oscillatory pattern of expression during circadian rhythm. To obtain insight into the phy...
