摘要: HOXC13, a homeobox-containing gene, is involved in hair development and human leukemia. The regulatory mechanism that drives HOXC13 expression mostly unknown. Our studies have demonstrated transcriptionally activated by the steroid hormone estrogen (17β-estradiol; E2). promoter contains several estrogen-response elements (EREs), including ERE1 ERE2, which are close to transcription start site, associated with E2-mediated activation of HOXC13. Knockdown receptors (ERs) ERα ERβ suppressed Similarly, knockdown mixed lineage leukemia histone methylase (MLL)3 E2-induced MLLs (MLL1–MLL4) were bound an E2-dependent manner. either or affected binding into EREs, suggesting critical roles ERs recruiting promoter. Overall, our regulated E2 MLLs, which, coordination ERβ, play this process. Although known regulate HOX genes, hormone-mediated regulation genes Herein, we players gene.
