Mechanisms of sterol regulatory element binding protein‐1 activation by membrane phospholipids
The sterol regulatory element‐binding protein (SREBP‐1a, ‐1c, and 2) family of transcription factors control genes involved in cholesterol, fatty acid, and triacylglycerol biosynthesis. Misregulation of these genes can contribute to development of the metabolic syndrome. Although cholesterol regulation of SREBP's has been well characterized, regulation

Transcription Factor Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein 2 Regulates Scavenger Receptor Cla-1 Gene Expression [PDF]
Objective—The human scavenger receptor class B type I (Cla-1) plays a key role in cellular cholesterol movement in facilitating transport of cholesterol between cells and lipoproteins. Indirect evidence has suggested thatCla-1gene expression is under the feedback control of cellular cholesterol content.

In birds and mammals, agonists of the liver X receptor (LXR) increase the expression of enzymes that make up the fatty acid synthesis pathway. Here, we investigate the mechanism by which the synthetic LXR agonist, T0-901317, increases the transcription ...

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Selectively Suppress Sterol Regulatory Element-binding Protein-1 through Proteolytic Processing and Autoloop Regulatory Circuit [PDF]
Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1 is a key transcription factor for the regulation of lipogenic enzyme genes in the liver. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) selectively suppress hepatic SREBP-1, but molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown.

Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins are regulators of the rat thyroid peroxidase gene in thyroid cells [PDF]
Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs)-1c and -2, which were initially discovered as master transcriptional regulators of lipid biosynthesis and uptake, were recently identified as novel transcriptional regulators of the sodium-iodide ...

High density lipoprotein inhibits the activation of sterol regulatory element‐binding protein‐1 in cultured cells [PDF]
A link between cellular uptake of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and regulation of sterol regulatory element‐binding protein‐1 (SREBP‐1) was investigated in vitro. HDL decreased nuclear SREBP‐1 levels as well as SREBP‐1 target gene expression in HepG2 and HEK293 cells. However, HDL did not repress an exogenously expressed, constitutively active form of

Lipid Metabolism in Glioblastoma: From De Novo Synthesis to Storage
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain tumor. With limited therapeutic options, novel therapies are desperately needed. Recent studies have shown that GBM acquires large amounts of lipids for rapid growth through activation of sterol ...

Vitamin D. a dynamic molecule. how relevant might the dynamism for a vitamin be [PDF]
Cholecalciferol, the precursor of Vitamin D3, is a very old, highly conserved, molecule. Its presence is evident in non-mineralized 750 million-year-old living species, such as plankton.
