Thyroid hormone (T3) is a known regulator of the transcription rate of specific genes. By subtractive hybridization of T2-treated osteoblastic cells, differentially expressed messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were enriched in the form of double stranded complementary DNA (cDNA) fragments. Sequencing of a differentially expressed cDNA that detects a 2.6-kilobase mRNA in Northern blots revealed to homology in the EMBL-Genebank data bases. A mouse genomic library was screened, and the isolated genomic DNA was identified as part of the insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4) gene including the 3'-untranslated region to which the cloned cDNA fragment was mapped by sequencing. We observed an up-regulation of the 2.6-kilobase IGFBP-4 mRNA transcript in the presence of T3 or retinoic acid. The induction of the IGFBP-4 transcript persisted up to 48 h. This response was inhibited by cycloheximide as well as actinomycin D. Long term induction studies revealed that the T3 effect is present during the complete culture period, with a constant rise in IGFBP-4 mRNA levels until 14 days. Under these culture conditions, the DNA content of MC3T3-E1 cells were significantly reduced by T3 and retinoic acid, indicating the repressive effect of both hormones on cell growth. Western immunoblots showed that the transcriptional induction is consequently transduced to increased IGFBP-4 levels in the conditioned medium of T3-treated cells. Our data show that thyroid hormone and retinoic acid stimulate transcription of IGFBP-4 mRNA in osteoblasts, resulting in increased IGFBP-4 secretion into the medium. IGFBP-4, a known inhibitor of cellular proliferation, might contribute to the antiproliferative effect of T3 and retinoic acid on osteoblasts.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

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.

D014212 Tretinoin An important regulator of GENE EXPRESSION during growth and development, and in NEOPLASMS. Tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid and derived from maternal VITAMIN A, is essential for normal GROWTH; and EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT. An excess of tretinoin can be teratogenic. It is used in the treatment of PSORIASIS; ACNE VULGARIS; and several other SKIN DISEASES. It has also been approved for use in promyelocytic leukemia (LEUKEMIA, PROMYELOCYTIC, ACUTE).
