Role of HuR in skeletal myogenesis through coordinate regulation of muscle differentiation genes

…, A Cuadrado, J Fan, U Atasoy, GE Muscat… - … and cellular biology, 2003 - Taylor & Francis
In this report, we investigate the role of the RNA-binding protein HuR during skeletal
myogenesis. At the onset of myogenesis in differentiating C2C12 myocytes and in vivo in …

[HTML][HTML] Nuclear receptor profiling of ovarian granulosa cell tumors

…, AE Drummond, S Chu, CD Clyne, GE Muscat… - Hormones and …, 2011 - Springer
Granulosa cell tumors of the ovary (GCT) represent ~5% of malignant ovarian tumors. The
adult form is defined by a mutation in the FOXL2 gene. GCT exhibit many of the features of …

Signal transduction by the growth hormone receptor

…, S Bastiras, AR Robins, GE Muscat… - Proceedings of the …, 1994 - journals.sagepub.com
It has been proposed that dimerization of identical receptor subunits by growth hormone (GH)
is the mechanism of signal transduction across the cell membrane. We present here data …

Transcriptional modulation of mouse μ-opioid receptor distal promoter activity by Sox18

…, T Yuhi, S Raghavan, JE Olsson, GE Muscat… - Molecular …, 2001 - ASPET
Previously, we reported the presence of dual promoters, referred to as distal (DP) and
proximal, with a negative regulatory element between them in the mouse μ-opioid receptor (mor) …

Expression and cellular activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ in granulosa cell tumors

S Chu, YC Chee, M Alexiadis, N Ericksson, GE Muscat… - Cancer Research, 2011 - AACR
Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) of the ovary are rare, hormonally-active neoplasms characterized
by endocrine manifestations, an indolent course and late relapse. Chemotherapy and …

Adenovirus E1A products suppress myogenic differentiation and inhibit transcription from muscle-specific promoters

KA Webster, GEO Muscat, L Kedes - Nature, 1988 - nature.com
The primary function of the adenovirus ElA-region genes is to activate other adenoviral genes
during a permissive viral infection by modifying the host cell transcriptional apparatus 1,2 . …

Regulation of vertebrate muscle differentiation by thyroid hormone: The role of the myoD gene family

GEO Muscat, M Downes, DH Dowhan - Bioessays, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
Skeletal myoblasts have their origin early in embryogenesis within specific somites.
Determined myoblasts are committed to a myogenic fate; however, they only differentiate and …

Constitutive expression of the orphan receptor, Rev-erbA alpha, inhibits muscle differentiation and abrogates the expression of the myoD gene family.

M Downes, AJ Carozzi, GE Muscat - Molecular Endocrinology, 1995 - academic.oup.com
… In an effort to further understand the transcriptional properties of Rev-erbAtu LBD or E region,
we used the properties of the GALVPIG chimera, a potent transcriptional activator, to study …

A common factor regulates skeletal and cardiac α-actin gene transcription in muscle

GEO Muscat, TA Gustafson… - Molecular and cellular …, 1988 - Am Soc Microbiol
The skeletal and cardiac alpha-actin genes are coexpressed in muscle development but
exhibit distinctive tissue-specific patterns of expression. We used an in vivo competition assay …

Multiple 5′-flanking regions of the human α-skeletal actin gene synergistically modulate muscle-specific expression

G EO Muscat, L Kedes - Molecular and cellular biology, 1987 - Taylor & Francis
Transfection into myogenic and nonmyogenic cell lines was used to investigate the transcriptional
regulation of the human α-skeletal actin gene. We demonstrated that 1,300 base pairs …
