Promoter identification and transcriptional regulation of the metastasis gene MACC1 in colorectal cancer

Abstract: MACC1, Metastasis associated in colon cancer 1, is a newly identified prognostic biomarker for colorectal cancer metastasis and patient survival, when determined in the primary tumor or patient blood. MACC1 induces cell motility and proliferation in cell culture and metastasis in mouse models. MACC1 acts as a transcriptional regulator of the receptor tyrosine kinase gene Met via binding to its promoter. However, no information about the promoter of the MACC1 gene and its transcriptional regulation has been rep… Show more

“…Therefore, we wanted to know if lovastatin influences c-Jun and Sp1 binding to the human MACC1 promoter. This was investigated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), using biotinylated oligonucleotides encompassing the c-Jun or Sp1 binding site of the MACC1 promoter as described earlier [27]. In solvent-treated HCT116 cells, a strong signal was observed because of the binding of c-Jun and Sp1 with their respective biotinylated oligonucleotides, consistent with our previous findings.…”

“…The present study is considered to be important as it has provided analyses of a large number of samples, which demonstrate that MACC1 expression levels may be used as a statistically significant marker for CRC metastasis following curative resection, along with other reported predictors ( 13 ). The present results support recent reports that a MACC1 -dependent signaling pathway is involved in the progression of CRC ( 12 , 14 , 15 ).…”

“…Gene promoters play a key role in transcriptional regulation by controlling the transcription initiation site, time and expression level (Juneja, Ilm, Schlag, & Stein, ). Therefore, research on the regulation of gene expression can start from the structural function of its promoter.…”
