For the FGF19 family members the activity was determined in the absence of klotho proteins. *Bold print indicates activity >50% or > than for any other FGFR variant b. The FGFR4 Promoter Systematic analysis of FGFR protein expression in normal human adult tissues representing the major organ systems resulted in the detection of FGFR4 expression in adult human adrenal, lung, kidney, intestine, pancreas, skeletal muscle, spleen, and liver [20]. The strict control of gene expression necessary for potent growth and survival factors and their receptors like FGFRs requires multiple regulatory elements in the promoter region. Promoter activity of the human FGFR4 gene was studied with reporter constructs up to – 1955 base pairs numbered relative to the major transcription start point (TSP) [21]. Our review considers regulatory elements defined within this region of human FGFR4 and downstream into introns 1 and 4 (Fig. 2). Open in a separate window Fig. (2) Promoter elements regulating FGFR4 gene expressionSequences from intron 4 of the FGFR4 gene to about 1500bp up-stream of the major TSP have been investigated in the ENCODE project. TSPs are marked by red arrow heads. Transcription factor binding sites are given as boxes at the appropriate site. The human FGFR4 core promoter region reaches from position -198 to -9, is CG-rich and contains more than 1 TSP, but no TATA- or CCAAT-like elements [21]. This is a notable feature of many housekeeping genes, oncogenes, growth factors, and transcription factors [14, 22] and also seen in the promoters of FGFRs 1-3. Specifically, the human FGFR1 gene [23], the human FGFR2 gene [24], and the mouse and human FGFR3 gene [25, 26] display comparable characteristics. The FGFR4 promoter region harbors several binding motifs for the Sp1, AP2 and GCF transcription factors located ! 80 to ! 40 bp upstream of the TSPs as has been described for several TATA-less promoters [14, 22]. Tissue specific regulatory elements of FGFR4 promoters are mainly described for skeletal muscle and pituitary gland derived cells. For other tissues and cancers such elements have to be defined. Ets and Sp1 motifs and binding sites for the hematopoietic zinc finger-containing transcription factor Ikaros (Ik) were identified within the core promoter region of FGFR4 between sequence positions -65 to -26 and together regulate tissue specific FGFR4 expression in the pituitary gland [27]. Binding sites for Sp1 in the promoter region Olesoxime -95 to -56 are particularly important for FGFR4 expression in differentiating myotubes and its stimulating role in myogenesis and terminal skeletal muscle differentiation. Furthermore, the Sp1 transcription factor binding at sites within positions -95 to -56 and -65 to -26 controls FGFR4 transcription in sarcomas of skeletal muscle lineage [28]. Specifically, the mouse FGFR4 promoter region 49 bp upstream of the TSP binds the TEA domain transcriptional factor, Tead2, and regulates FGFR4 expression required for effective muscle regeneration [29]. Tead2 itself is induced by binding of MyoD, one of the main regulators of muscle differentiation, to the first intron of the Tead2 gene at day 3 during muscle regeneration. Recent work demonstrates that folate receptor alpha (FR”) known as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein and a component of the caveolae fraction, is capable of translocating to the nucleus where it binds to cis-regulatory elements at the FGFR4 as well as other promoters [30]. In both mouse and human FGFR4 promoters, two Pax3 and one FR” binding regions are located at -994/-989, -980/-977 and -928/-922, respectively. Additional transcription element binding sites downstream of the major TSP have been extracted from Chip-sequencing data of the Encode project [31]. Among others c-myc, maximum, junD, fos-like 2, hey1 and NF!B bind to the region round the untranslated exon 1 in tumor cell lines. Specifically, in pituitary tumors an alternative TSP within intron 4 can be triggered by transcription element AP-2 binding [32]. Further upstream the FGFR4 promoter region between -1140 and -1085 a potential repressor element is located, which down regulates transcriptional activity and might contribute to cells specific manifestation [21]. c. Splice Variants of FGFR4 Within the FGFR-family multiple transcript variants are generated from your same gene by alternate initiation, alternate splicing, exon shuffling, and usage of variable polyadenylation sites [33]. These numerous transcripts contribute to the characteristic tissue-specific manifestation patterns observed.Although no declared FGFR inhibitor has been approved for anticancer therapy so far, several of these drugs are in clinical development [3, 4, 167, 170]. klotho proteins. *Bold print shows activity >50% or > than for any additional FGFR variant b.

Cells specific regulatory elements of FGFR4 promoters are primarily explained for skeletal muscle mass and pituitary gland derived cells. For additional tissues and cancers such elements have to be defined. Ets and Sp1 motifs and binding sites for the hematopoietic zinc finger-containing transcription element Ikaros (Ik) were identified within the core promoter region of FGFR4 between sequence positions -65 to -26 and collectively regulate cells specific FGFR4 manifestation in the pituitary gland [27]. Binding sites for Sp1 in the promoter region -95 to -56 are particularly important for FGFR4 expression in Olesoxime differentiating myotubes and its stimulating role in myogenesis and terminal skeletal muscle mass differentiation.

The human being FGFR4 primary promoter region gets to from placement -198 to -9, can be CG-rich possesses a lot more than 1 TSP, but no TATA- or CCAAT-like components [21]. That is a significant feature of several housekeeping genes, oncogenes, development elements, and transcription elements [14, 22] and in addition observed in the promoters of FGFRs 1-3. Particularly, the human being FGFR1 gene [23], the human being FGFR2 gene [24], as well as the mouse and human being FGFR3 gene [25, 26] screen comparable features. The FGFR4 promoter area harbors many binding motifs for the Sp1, AP2 and GCF transcription elements located ! 80 to ! 40 bp upstream from the TSPs as continues to be described for a number of TATA-less promoters [14, 22]. Cells specific regulatory components of FGFR4 promoters are primarily referred to for skeletal muscle tissue and pituitary gland produced cells.
