Myelination is controlled by timely expression of genes involved in the differentiation oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) into myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs). Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), a NAD+-dependent deacetylase, plays critical role OL promoting both arborization and downstream myelin-specific genes. However, mechanisms regulating SIRT2 during development are largely unknown. The RNA-binding protein quaking (QKI) an important myelination post-transcriptionally several myelin specific In...

Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) is a master regulator of osteogenic differentiation, but most the direct downstream targets RUNX2 during osteogenesis are unknown. Likewise, High-temperature requirement A1 (HTRA1) serine protease expressed in bone, yet role Htra1 osteoblast differentiation remains elusive. We investigated and transcriptional regulation by primary mouse mesenchymal progenitor cells.Overexpression was carried out cells to evaluate extent differentiation....

We have previously found that Sirt2 enhanced the outgrowth of cellular processes and MBP expression in CG4 cells, where is suppressed by transcription factor Nkx2.2. However, detailed mechanism facilitating oligodendroglial cell differentiation remained unclear. In present study, we observed partially translocated into nuclei when cells were induced to differentiate. was detected at CpG island PDGFRα promoter via ChIP assay during process rather than state growth. deacetylated protein(s)...
