To elucidate the mechanisms used by tubercle bacilli to survive in macrophages, researchers at several laboratories are studying mycobacterial genes specifically expressed during growth in macrophages [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ] . Among the genes specifically expressed during intracellular growth are genes encoding two extracytoplasmic function sigma factors, SigE (σ E) and SigH (σ H) [ 3 4 5 ] . Sigma factors play critical roles in the recognition of promoters by RNA polymerase.
H441 cells resemble bronchiolar epithelial Clara cells in phenotype and produce both SP-A and SP-B mRNA and protein [ 14 ] . The hormonal regulation of SP-A and SP-B gene expression in H441 cells is similar to that observed in differentiated type II cells in human fetal lung explants [ 6 7 15 16 ] . We treated H441 cells with the four inhibitors of signal transduction: wortmannin, LY294002, rapamycin and PD98059, to elucidate which signaling pathways are activated when insulin inhibits SP-A gene expression.
Further analysis of these transcripts is needed and it will remain a challenging task to elucidate the biological significance of all of them.
These results can help to elucidate the mechanism by which SHRs in general, and AR in particular, regulate gene expression.
We analyzed the repertoire and distribution of rearranged VH genes to elucidate B lymphocyte involvement in AS, and to investigate similarities to and differences from RA.
