| Abstract | Previous studies from this laboratory have identified transcriptional mechanisms that are utilized to increase expression of the human glutathione S-transferase gene GSTP1 in a multidrug-resistant derivative (VCREMS) of the human mammary carcinoma cell line MCF7 [Moffat, McLaren and Wolf (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 16397-16402]. The data presented here provide strong evidence that post-transcriptional mechanisms can also play an important role in determining cell-specific expression of the GSTP1 gene. GSTP1 mRNA levels were shown to be elevated 3.1-fold in the human bladder carcinoma cell line EJ compared with VCREMS cells. Despite this observation, transient transfection assays revealed a decreased rate of GSTP1 promoter activity in EJ cells. Indeed, GSTP1 transcriptional repressor activity, mediated by a region located between nucleotides -105 and -86 (as we have previously described in MCF7 cells), was observed in EJ cells. However, in contrast with our results in MCF7 cells, the EJ repressor activity did not displace the essential nuclear complex bound to the C1 promoter element (-73 to -54) in vitro. In addition, competition experiments indicated that an AP-1-like protein is an integral component of the C1-bound complex in EJ cells. Interestingly, experiments utilizing actinomycin D to inhibit transcription demonstrated significantly greater stability of GSTP1 mRNA in EJ cells than in VCREMS cells. These findings suggest that cell-specific differences in the rates of GSTP1 mRNA decay provide the predominant mechanism responsible for elevated expression of the GSTP1 gene in EJ cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
