Activation of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 promoter by parathyroid hormone in osteosarcoma cells requires activation of an activated protein-2 element
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have previously shown that parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates the expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) transcript levels in the osteosarcoma cell-line, UMR106-01 cells. In the present study we examined the molecular basis for the PTH induction of IGFBP-5 mRNA in these cells. PTH had no effect on the half-life of the IGFBP-5 transcript but did stimulate the transactivation of the proximal 889 base pairs of the rat IGFBP 5' flanking region in a luciferase fusion construct, suggesting that PTH stimulates transcript levels through transcriptional mechanisms. Progressive 5' deletions to -59 base pairs of the proximal promoter region had no effect on PTH induction of transactivation, indicating that an element existed within the first -59 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site that was responsive to PTH. Within the -59 base pairs there are CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), E-box, nuclear factor-1 (NF-1) and activator protein-2 (AP-2) elements. Mutation of the C/EBP, E-box or NF-1 elements had no effect on the ability of PTH to induce the transactivation of the IGFBP-5 promoter. Mutation of the AP-2 element resulted in a 40% reduction of PTH-stimulated luciferase activity. When three tandem repeats of the AP-2 consensus sequence were fused to a luciferase reporter, PTH stimulated a 25% increase in reporter activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using UMR106-01 cell nuclear extracts showed that PTH caused a prominent shifted band in a probe spanning the region containing all four elements. The shifted band was almost completely absent when the probe contained a mutated AP-2 element. These results suggest that the AP-2 element functions in the PTH induction of IGFBP-5 gene expression.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
