ABSTRACT
Introduction: The Egr-1 protein is a transcriptional factor
responsive to early growth. Transcriptional regulation of the
promoter has been described like responsive to physical stress,
osmotic changes, and cellular growth marker. However, there is
no report about the pharmacological effect on the transcriptional
regulation in gliomas. Hereby we report the modulation of the Egr-
1 promoter transcriptional activity induced by the Granulocytes
Macrophages Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) and steroid
drugs in human glioma cells (CH235-GM Grade II, U373-GM
Grade III, D54-GM Grade IV) using a reporter system transduced
by a recombinant adenoviral vector
AdEgr-1/Luc7.
Methods: Human glioma cells shows with different malignity grade
(CH235-GM Grado II; U373-GM Grado III; D54-GM Grado IV) were
transduced with no replicative adenoviral vector
AdEgr-1/Luc7 and
exposed to drugs a progesterone β-estradiol and betametasone
and GM-CSF. Transcriptional activity of the egr-1 promoter was
quantified by Luciferase reporter gene, cloned downstream to the
tata box. Luciferase activity was quantified from whole cell proteins
using luminometry assays.
Results: U373-GM cell line with GM-CSF, shows an increment
on transcriptional activity of Egr-1 promoter, also in endogen way.
U373-GM showed a positive regulation of Egr-1, with steroid drugs
on the yimes analyzed. Steroid drugs as progesterone, β-estradiol
and betametasone, shows a pleiotropic behavior on CH235-GM
and D54-GM, glioma cell lines.
Conclusions: Inhibition or activation response of Egr-1 promoter
shows new framework to explore a mechanism of action of steroid
drugs on genetic and epigenetic regulation on tumoral process.
