Synergy between the RE-1 Silencer of Transcription and NFκB in the Repression of the Neurotransmitter Gene TAC1 in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
21 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
The RE-1 silencer of transcription (REST) is a transcriptional regulator that represses neuron-specific genes in non-neuronal tissues by remodeling chromatin structure. We have utilized human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a research tool to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate a neurogenic program of differentiation in non-neuronal tissue. MSCs are mesoderm-derived cells that generate specialized...
