We have constructed two expression vectors in order to study the action of the HBV 17 Kd X protein on the c-fos and c-myc promoters. The results show that the promoters contain multiple elements that respond to X protein, suggesting involvement of multiple transcription factors. The exact mechanism of the interaction remains elusive, but our data allow speculation about the factors that may be influenced.

Brain Plasticity and Cell Competition: Immediate Early Genes Are the Focus.

Brain plasticity is at the basis of many cognitive functions, including learning and memory. It includes several mechanisms of synaptic and extrasynaptic changes, neurogenesis, and the formation and elimination of synapses. The plasticity of synaptic transmission involves the expression of immediate early genes (IEGs) that regulate neuronal activity, thereby supporting learning and memory.

Regulation of gene expression during development and stress response requires the concerted action of transcription factors and chromatin-binding proteins. Because this process is cell-type specific and varies with cellular conditions, mapping of chromatin factors at individual regulatory loci is crucial for understanding cis-regulatory control. Previous methods only characterize static protein binding.

It has been established that essential amino acids (EAA) regulate protein synthesis in mammary epithelial cells by rapidly altering the phosphorylation state of translation factors. However, the long-term transcriptional response to EAA supply has been investigated much less. Eight transcription factors were selected as candidate mediators of EAA effects on mammary cell function via the amino acid response (ATF4, ATF6), mitogen-activated protein kinase (JUN, FOS, EGR1), and mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (MYC, HIF1A, SREBF1).

Previous studies have reported an association between telomere length and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to explore the involvement of alternative lengthening of telomere-related genes (ALTRGs) in the pathology of NAFLD, construct a risk signature, and evaluate both treatment and prognosis. Three NAFLD datasets (GSE48452, GSE89632, and GSE63067) were collected from the GEO database and merged into combined GEO datasets.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a leading cause of cancer-related death with limited therapies, is a complex disease developing in a background of Hepatitis Virus infection or systemic conditions, such as the metabolic syndrome. Investigating HCC pathogenesis in model organisms is therefore crucial for developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) have been instrumental in recapitulating the local and systemic features of HCC.
