gene Aldh1a2, comprises 14 exons that are divided by 13 introns spanning more than 50 kb of genomic DNA, and it is localized on chromosome 9. CpG methylation in the Aldh1a2 promoter region inhibits Sp1-dependent Aldh1a2 promoter activation | Mus musculus |

Mus musculus | ERK and p38 MAPK inhibitors PD98059 and SB203580 suppress GM-CSF-induced nuclear translocation of Sp1 and Aldh1a2 expression. CpG methylation in the Aldh1a2 promoter region inhibits Sp1-dependent Aldh1a2 promoter activation. Aldh1a2 transcription silencing by CpG methylation of the promoter region is not due to direct interference with Sp1 binding to the promoter region | down |
Mus musculus | granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) potently induces RALDH2 expression in dendritic cells in an retinoic acid-dependent manner, and retinoic acid alone weakly induces the expression. Retinoic acid and GM-CSF coordinately induce retinal dehydrogenase 2 (RALDH2) expression through cooperation between the RAR/RXR complex and Sp1 in dendritic cells | up |
General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
additional information | MAPK activation is required for GM-CSF-induced Aldh1a2 expression and Sp1 nuclear translocation. Sp1 participates in the Aldh1a2 expression. CpG methylation in the Aldh1a2 promoter region inhibits Sp1-dependent Aldh1a2 promoter activation. Aldh1a2 transcription silencing by CpG methylation of the promoter region is not due to direct interference with Sp1 binding to the promoter region | Mus musculus |
physiological function | retinoic acid-producing dendritic cells play critical roles in gut immunity. Retinal dehydrogenase 2 (RALDH2) encoded by Aldh1a2 is a key enzyme for generating retinoic acid in dendritic cells | Mus musculus |
