In vivo characterisation of the human UCP3 gene minimal promoter in mice tibialis anterior muscles.

Abstract:

:Transcriptional mechanisms controlling human UCP3 gene expression in skeletal muscle remain poorly understood. Experiments based on plasmid electrotransfer into tibialis anterior muscle of C57/BL6 male mice were set up in order to functionally analyze the hUCP3 gene promoter. These transfection experiments showed that a 6300 bp region upstream of the transcription initiation site was sufficient to mediate maximal promoter activity. Further analyses with a series of 5(')-deleted constructs demonstrated that the hUCP3 gene minimal promoter was located between nucleotides -284 and -40. Furthermore, an essential region was identified between nucleotides -284 and -224. The analysis of this region revealed a putative response element for PPAR located between nucleotides -281 and -269. Finally, mutations of potential cis-acting elements within the hUCP3 minimal promoter showed the presence of two TATA boxes (-198/-194 and -45/-41) required for constitutive UCP3 gene expression. To our knowledge, this is the first time that molecular characterization of the UCP3 promoter has been achieved using an in vivo experimental model.
