1 11250945 Insulin deprivation leads to deficiency of Sp1 transcription factor in H-411E hepatoma cells and in streptozotocin-induced diabetic ketoacidosis in the rat.
2 11250945 Members of the family of Sp transcription factors include Sp1, Sp3, and Sp4 and are important regulators of eukaryotic gene expression.
3 11250945 To test whether other members of the Sp family are direct targets of insulin action, we compared the levels of Sp1 and Sp3 proteins from nuclear extracts obtained from both insulin-treated and untreated rat hepatoma (H-411E) cells.
4 11250945 We demonstrated by Western blot analysis that levels of Sp1 and Sp3 proteins were increased more than 2-fold in the insulin-treated group.
5 11250945 Additionally, the up-regulation of both Sp1 and Sp3 transcription factors by insulin was antagonized by tumor necrosis factor-alpha, a known inhibitor of insulin action.
6 11250945 Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that H-411E cells treated with insulin (10,000 microU/ml) had a marked increase in demonstrable Sp1 in the nucleus compared with cells incubated in insulin-free medium.
7 11250945 We demonstrated in rat liver tissue by both Western blot and immunohistochemical staining with anti-Sp1 antibody that 1) livers of fully diabetic streptozotocin rats have low levels of Sp1 transcription factor; and 2) insulin treatment of the diabetic rat rapidly reversed this process by markedly stimulating accumulation of Sp1 in rat liver.
8 11250945 Studies of the signal transduction mechanisms involved in insulin's effect on Sp1 demonstrate a facilitating role for phosphoinositol 3-kinase and an inhibitory role for cyclic nucleotides.
9 11250945 In summary, insulin stimulates Sp1 protein, a transcription factor that is shown to regulate calmodulin gene expression and most likely other, as yet untested, genes.
10 12383520 Transfection of Drosophila SL2 cells, which lack Sp/Krüppel-like factors, with constructs encoding either Sp1, Sp3, Sp4 or erythroid Krüppel-like factor (EKLF) specifically activates the hmGPD promoter B up to 50-fold.
11 12383520 Co-transfected EKLF was synergistic with either Sp1 or Sp3.
