Abstract excerpt
Glucagon-like peptide-1 and its potent agonist exendin-4 induce several immediate early response genes (IEGs) that code for transcription factors implicated in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. We recently observed that early growth response factor-1 (EGR-1), an IEG product, was required for transcriptional activation of Ccnd1 (cyclin D1) gene by exendin-4. Herein, the regulatory mechanism...
