Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been characterized as both important signaling molecules and universal stressors that mediate many developmental and physiological responses. So far, details of the transcriptional mechanism of ROS-responsive genes are still largely unknown. In the study reported herein, we identified eight potential ROS-responsive cis-acting elements (ROSEs) from the promoters of genes upregulated by ROS. We also found that the APETALA2 (AP2/EREBP)-type transcription factor ERF6 could bind specifically to the ROSE7/GCC box. Co-expression of ERF6 enhanced luciferase activity driven by ROSE7. ERF6 interacted physically with mitogen-activated protein kinase 6 (MPK6), and also served as a substrate of MPK6. MPK6-mediated ERF6 phosphorylation at both Ser 266 and Ser 269 affected the dynamic alternation of ERF6 protein, which resulted in changes in ROS-responsive gene transcription. These data might provide new insight into the mechanisms that regulate ROS-responsive gene transcription via a complex of MPK6, ERF6, and the ROSE7/GCC box.

View SamplesThe recovery of liver mass is mainly mediated by proliferation and enlargement of hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy. Studying the gene expression profiles of hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy will be helpful in exploring the mechanism of liver regeneration.

View SamplesThe liver has extraordinary powers of regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH). Changes of gene expression play a key role in cell proliferation and differentiation during liver regeneration (LR). To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying LR, this study was designed to assess the changes of rat hepatic gene expression in a timely manner.

View SamplesThe molecular mechanisms underlying stress-influenced immune function are not clear. Chicken stress models can be established effectively by feeding chickens corticosterone hormone. The bursa of Fabricius is a unique central immune organ of birds. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology was used to investigate differences in the expression profiles of immune-related genes and associated pathways in the bursa of Fabricius to clarify molecular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to broaden the understanding of the stress-influenced immune function in chickens.
