1 7828540 FRTL-5, but not FRT or BRL cell nuclear extracts, form a specific protein-DNA complex with this region in gel mobility shift analyses; its formation is prevented by TTF-1-binding elements from the thyroglobulin promoter.
2 7709602 TTF-1 is implicated as a critical autoregulatory component in both positive and negative regulation of the TSHR and appears to be the link between TSH, the TSHR, TSHR-mediated signals, TG and TPO biosynthesis, and thyroid hormone formation.
3 7709602 Differentially regulated expression of the TSHR and TG by cAMP and insulin depend on differences in the specificity of the TTF-1 site, that is, the lack of Pax-8 interactions with the TSHR, and the IRE sites.
4 7565801 An element, -186 to -176 base pairs (bp), in the minimal TSH receptor (TSHR) promoter binds thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) and is important for both constitutive expression and TSH/cAMP-induced negative autoregulation of the TSHR in thyroid cells.
5 7565801 Transfection experiments indicate that full, constitutive TSHR gene expression in FRTL-5 thyroid cells requires the binding of both SSBPs and TTF-1, since mutation of either element halves thyroid-specific promoter activity, whereas mutation of both decreases promoter activity to values near those of a control vector.
6 7565801 In sum, full, constitutive expression of the TSHR in thyroid cells requires TTF-1 and the SSBPs to bind separate, contiguous elements on the TSHR promoter.
7 7565801 The role of the SSBP and TTF-1 sites in constitutive TSHR expression and in TSH/cAMP-induced negative regulation of the TSHR is, therefore, additive and independent.
8 8923467 Mutation analyses indicate that it is functionally distinct from the TTF-1 element and is important for the constitutive expression and TSH/cAMP-induced negative autoregulation of the TSHR in thyroid cells but only constitutive expression in nonthyroid cells.
9 8923467 SSBP-1 RNA is present ubiquitously; however, its levels are higher in FRTL-5 cells and are increased by overexpression of TTF-1 in cells treated with TSH.
10 21282365 TTF-1 activity in AgRP and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) transcription was examined using gel-shift and promoter assays and an in vivo model of TTF-1 synthesis inhibition by intracerebroventricular injection of an antisense (AS) oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN).
11 21282365 TTF-1 stimulated AgRP but inhibited POMC transcription by binding to the promoters of these genes.
12 21282365 TTF-1 transcriptionally regulates synthesis of AgRP and ?-MSH in the ARC and affects feeding behavior via the melanocortin pathway.
