Vimentin is a member of the intermediate filament family, and the NF-kappaB binding site is located in the human vimentin promoter. To gain insight into the role of NF-kappaB in the regulation of the vimentin gene during 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-dependent differentiation of HL-60 cells, the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamete (PDTC) has been investigated using Northern blot hybridization and DNA mobility shift assay. PDTC inhibited macrophage-like morphologic change of HL-60 cells by TPA. TPA-dependent increase of vimentin mRNA level was decreased in a time- and dose-dependent manner by pretreatment with PDTC. One DNA-protein complex was formed by DNA mobility shift assay when the NF-kappaB or AP-1 binding sites were incubated with nuclear extract prepared from TPA-treated HL-60 cells, but no protein bound in control HL-60 cells without TPA. After PDTC pretreatment, NF-kappaB binding activity vanished but AP-1 binding activity was unchanged. Taken together, these results suggest that NF-kappaB may be an essential transacting factor for transcriptional repression of the vimentin gene by PDTC during TPA-dependent differentiation of HL-60 cells.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm. Messenger RNA,Messenger RNA, Polyadenylated,Poly(A) Tail,Poly(A)+ RNA,Poly(A)+ mRNA,RNA, Messenger, Polyadenylated,RNA, Polyadenylated,mRNA,mRNA, Non-Polyadenylated,mRNA, Polyadenylated,Non-Polyadenylated mRNA,Poly(A) RNA,Polyadenylated mRNA,Non Polyadenylated mRNA,Polyadenylated Messenger RNA,Polyadenylated RNA,RNA, Polyadenylated Messenger,mRNA, Non Polyadenylated
