Gene Regulation Stimulation Inflammatory protein ex. cytokine, LPS, stress ex. TNF, IL-1, MCP-1, ICAM-1 Receptor Membrane Protein kinase phosphorylation Signal transduction (Western Blot) (ex. ERK, P38, JNK) Protein (ELISA) Protein-DNA binding Transcription factor *(EMSA) (ex. AP-1,NF-B,Egr-1) mRNA MCP-1 Nuclear (Northern Blot) AP-1 NF-B TF AP-1 NF-B Egr-1 CM98/03/07/94
Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) • 研究DNA結合蛋白與其相關結合序列相互作用的方法 Protein / DNA (transcription factor) / (promoter region)
EMSA • Nuclear protein • DNA probe • Native gel (non-denaturing agarose gel) • Autoradiography
Promoter activity Promoter Reporter gene Luciferase Luciferase Lucoferin + ATP Light
Regulation of atherosclerosis-related genes by herbal medicines : Wog inhibits MCP-1 and TF gene expressions
Protocol for gene regulation • mRNA ― Northern Blot • mRNA stability ― Northern Blot • protein ― ELISA or Western Blot • promoter activity ― Luciferase activity • activation of transcription factor ― EMSA • signal transduction ― Western Blot
Atherosclerosis a progressive disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and fibrous elements in the large arteries • classic concept : as a disorder of lipid metabolism and deposition • current view : as a chronic inflammatory disease
Three stages in the life history of an atheroma • Initiation : permeability/ adhesion/ migration • Progression : fatty-streak formation/ advanced lesion • Complication : plaques rupture
Gene expression in the development of atherosclerosis Initiation Progression Complication MCP-1 MMP TF VCAM-1 ICAM-1
