Runt-Related Transcription Factor 1 Regulates Luteinized Hormone-Induced Prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 Expression in Rat Periovulatory Granulosa Cells
2 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1), a transcription factor, is transiently induced by the LH surge and regulates gene expression in periovulatory granulosa cells. Potential binding sites for RUNX are present in the 5'-flanking region of the Ptgs2 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2) gene. Periovulatory Ptgs2 expression is essential for ovulation. In the present study, we investigated the role of RUNX1...
