## BACKGROUND. The adult prostate is maintained through an equilibrium between cell growth and death rates. Androgen deprivation induces an increase in intracellular Ca ++ , AP-1 gene expression of androgen-inducible genes. METHODS. Northern blot analysis, band-shift assays, and transient cotransf

โฆ Synopsis
Androgen receptors are important transcription factors regulating the expression of a number of genes in androgen-responsive cells and may play a role in prostate cancer. This article describes transcriptional suppressors and other transcription factors which may play important roles in modulating the expression of androgen receptors.

Physiologically important peptides are often encoded in precursors that contain several gene products; thus, regulation of expression of polypeptide proteins is crucial to transduction pathways. Differential processing of precursors by cell- or tissue-specific proteolytic enzymes can yield messenger
To identify putative sequences that direct cell type-specific expression and/or enhance proteolipid protein (PLP) gene expression, glial or nonglial cells were transfected with various PLP-luciferase constructs that collectively span the entire mouse PLP-specific DNA present in a transgene known to
