Identification of Heat Shock Factor 1 Molecular and Cellular Targets during Embryonic and Adult Female Meiosis
21 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), while recognized as the major regulator of the heat shock transcriptional response, also exerts important functions during mammalian embryonic development and gametogenesis. In particular, HSF1 is required for oocyte maturation, the adult phase of meiosis preceding fertilization. To identify HSF1 target genes implicated in this process, comparative transcriptomic analyses were...
