Human Chorionic Gonadotropin-Activated cAMP Pathway Regulates Human Placental GnRH Receptor Gene Transcription in Choriocarcinoma JEG-3 Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A dose- and time-dependent increase in the human GnRH receptor (GnRHR) promoter activity after forskolin treatment was observed after transient transfection of human placental choriocarcinoma JEG-3 cells with a 2297-bp human GnRHR promoter-luciferase construct (p2300-LucF). This stimulatory effect was mimicked by administrating of cholera toxin, cAMP analog, or human chorionic gonadotropin. A specific adenylate cyclase inhibitor or protein kinase A inhibitor pretreatment reversed the forskolin- and human chorionic gonadotropin-induced increase in the human GnRHR promoter activity. Progressive 5' deletion assays identified a 412-bp fragment (-577 to -167) in the human GnRHR 5'-flanking region that is essential in maintaining the basal responsiveness to cAMP. Mutagenesis, coupled with functional studies, has identified two putative activating protein-1 (AP-1)/cAMP-responsive element (CRE) binding protein binding sites, namely human GnRHR (hGR)-AP/CRE-1 and hGR-AP/CRE-2, mediating the cAMP-stimulatory effect. Mutation of the putative hGR-AP/CRE-1 and hGR-AP/CRE-2 resulted in 32% and 35% decreases in the forskolin-induced stimulation, respectively. The binding of CRE binding protein to these motifs was confirmed by gel mobility shift assay and antibody supershift assay.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
