Kimyasal Olarak Etkilenen Deri Karsinojenisinin Fare Modelinde SATB1 ve SATB2 Ekspresyonunun Analizi

Öz

AT açısından zengin özel sekans bağlayıcı proteinler (SATB) 1 ve yakından ilişkili SATB2'nin, genomik DNA'ya kromatin yeniden modelleme/modifiye enzimleri ve transkripsiyon faktörlerini görevlendirerek kromatin yapısını ve gen ekspresyonunu düzenleyen genom düzenleyicileri olarak görev yaptığı öne sürülmüştür. SATB1 ve SATB2 ekspresyon seviyelerindeki değişikliklerin lenfoma, kolorektal ve meme kanseri hücreleri gibi çeşitli kanser hücrelerinde tümör büyümesi ve metastaz gelişimi ile ilişkili olduğu gösterilse de SATB1 ve SATB2 gen aktivitesinin tümörlerdeki potansiyel rolü Cildin durumu için hala bilinmiyor. Bu çalışmada, kimyasal olarak indüklenen karsinojenezin erken ve orta aşamalarında fare derisinde SATB1 ve SATB2 ekspresyon seviyeleri kantitatif RT-PCR analizi ile araştırıldı. Burada hem SATB1 hem de SATB2'nin cilt karsinogenezinin orta aşaması (papillomlar) sırasında aşağı regüle edildiği bulundu. Ayrıca SATB1'in SATB2'ye göreli ekspresyon seviyelerinin karşılaştırılması, SATB2'nin cilt karsinojenezinin orta aşamasında daha büyük bir aşağı regülasyona sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu veriler, göreceli gen ekspresyon seviyelerini belirleyip karşılaştırarak SATB1 ve SATB2'nin cilt karsinogeneziyle ilişkisi hakkında temel bir bilgi ve öngörü sağlar.

Analysis of SATB1 and SATB2 Expression in the Mouse Model of Chemically Induced Skin Carcinogenesis

Öz

Special AT-rich sequence binding proteins (SATB) 1 and the closely related SATB2 have been proposed to act as genome organizers that regulate chromatin structure and gene expression by recruiting chromatin remodelling/modifying enzymes and transcription factors to genomic DNA. Despite the fact that the changes in the expression levels of SATB1 and SATB2 were shown to be associated with tumour growth and metastasis development in various cancer cells such as lymphoma, colorectal and breast cancer cells, the potential role of SATB1 and SATB2 gene activity in tumours of the skin is still unknown. In the present study, SATB1 and SATB2 expression levels were investigated in mouse skin at early and middle stages of chemically induced carcinogenesis by quantitative RT-PCR analysis. Here, it was found that both SATB1 and SATB2 were down-regulated during the middle stage (papillomas) of skin carcinogenesis. Furthermore, the comparison of the relative expression levels of SATB1 to SATB2 has shown that SATB2 has a greater down-regulation in the middle stage of skin carcinogenesis. These data provide a fundamental knowledge and insight about SATB1 and SATB2 association with the skin carcinogenesis by determining and comparing their relative gene expression levels.
