The popularity of the ecdysone inducible gene switch system has led us to investigate its characteristics as a regulator of transgene expression in tumor xenografts since to our knowledge, this has not yet been reported.
Recently, the development of an inducible system based on the insect steroid ecdysone and the nuclear receptor that mediates its effect [ 7 ] has provided an alternative that may circumvent these limitations.
[ 10 ] This finding may indicate that despite their use in a malignant context, the ecdysone constructs behave with similar kinetics to that in normal cells thus implying a general utility in studies of various histological tumor types.
Although complementary sites for both miRNAs are found in the 3' UTRs of several putative nematode targets, these miRNAs are not physically linked in the C. elegans genome and their mutant phenotypes are principally due to misregulation of different transcripts [ 4 5 6 8 ] . The function of these miRNAs has not yet been explicitly demonstrated in other species, but Drosophila let-7 is regulated at the larval-pupal transition by ecdysone [ 49 ] , and all three members of this cluster are present in other insects and in vertebrates, thus implying broadly conserved functions.
In the absence of pon A an ecdysone receptor/VP16 fusion protein actively represses the promoter leading to very low basal levels of expression.
