Regulation of the Bone-restricted IFITM-like (Bril) Gene Transcription by Sp and Gli Family Members and CpG Methylation
26 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BRIL is a bone-specific membrane protein that is involved in osteogenesis imperfecta type V. RESULTS: Bril transcription is activated by Sp1, Sp3, OSX, and GLI2 and by CpG demethylation. CONCLUSION: Regulation of Bril involves trans-acting factors integrating at conserved promoter elements and epigenetic modifications. SIGNIFICANCE: Identification of the mechanisms governing Bril transcription is...
