Hydrocortisone-induced accumulation of fibronectin mRNA and cell surface-associated fibronectin. 1988

A Morris hepatoma 7777-derived cell line, DTH-3, was used to study the control of fibronectin gene expression. In cultures of DTH-3 cells in conventional medium supplemented with serum or in chemically defined MX-83 medium supplemented with insulin no cell surface fibronectin was detectable by indirect immunofluorescence techniques using specific polyclonal antibodies. By Northern blot hybridization analysis a dose- and time-dependent accumulation of 8 kb fibronectin mRNA in response to hydrocortisone treatment was demonstrated. Furthermore, 24 h after addition of hydrocortisone an extensive fibrillar fibronectin network was established. The results suggest that the hydrocortisone-dependent induction of fibronectin production might, at least in part, be controlled at the transcriptional level.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.

D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.

D000509 alpha-Fetoproteins The first alpha-globulins to appear in mammalian sera during FETAL DEVELOPMENT and the dominant serum proteins in early embryonic life. alpha-Fetoprotein,alpha Fetoprotein,alpha Fetoproteins
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
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.
