Developmental expression of Sp1 in the mouse.
TLDR
Results indicate that Sp1 has a regulatory function in addition to its general role in the transcription of housekeeping genes, suggesting that an elevated Sp1 level is associated with the differentiation process.Abstract:
The expression of the trans-acting transcription factor Sp1 in mice was defined by a combination of RNA analysis and immunohistochemical localization of the Sp1 protein. Although ubiquitously expressed, there was an unexpected difference of at least 100-fold in the amount of Sp1 message in different cell types. Sp1 protein levels showed corresponding marked differences. Substantial variations in Sp1 expression were also found in some cell types at different stages of development. Sp1 levels appeared to be highest in developing hematopoietic cells, fetal cells, and spermatids, suggesting that an elevated Sp1 level is associated with the differentiation process. These results indicate that Sp1 has a regulatory function in addition to its general role in the transcription of housekeeping genes.read more

TL;DR: Angiogenesis by TNF-alpha appears to be modulated through various angiogenic factors, both in vitro and in vivo, and this pathway is controlled through paracrine and/or autocrine mechanisms.

Expression of a single transfected cDNA converts fibroblasts to myoblasts.
TL;DR: In this article, the major open reading frame encoded by this cDNA contains a short protein segment similar to a sequence present in the myc protein family, and the expression of one of these cDNAs transfected into C3H10T1/2 fibroblasts, where it is not normally expressed, is sufficient to convert them to stable myoblasts.
