title: Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of glutathione S-transferase P1 expression during butyric acid-induced differentiation of K562 cells.
abstract: Over-expression of glutathione S-transferase P1 is related to chemotherapeutic drug resistance as well as to differentiation of human erythroleukemia cells. In opposition to previously described differentiating inducers which enhance the GST-resistance phenotype, time- and concentration-dependent activation of both erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation pathways by butyric acid progressively diminished GSTP1 mRNA expression. GSTP1 mRNA expression decreased by 25% (p<0.01) and 64% (p<0.01) in 1mM and 2mM butyric acid-differentiated K562 cells, respectively. These results were associated to both a reduction of GATA-1 binding activity to the GSTP1 promoter and to a posttranscriptional destabilization of GSTP1 mRNA in a concentration dependent manner. Indeed, GSTP1 mRNA half-life decreased from 43.8 to 36.2 h and 12.6 h in 1mM- and 2mM-treated cells, respectively.
