Example sentences for: esx
How can you use “esx” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Ese-1/Esx is a member of the Ets transcription factor family and is expressed mainly in epithelial tissue [ 30 ] . Its expression has been detected during mammary gland development and breast tumorigenesis [ 47 48 ] . It is noteworthy that Ese-1/Esx is a potential transcriptional regulator of the TGFβ type II receptor [ 31 ] and overexpression of Ese-1/Esx in non-invasive cells leads to a reduction in cell growth in the presence of TGFβ, presumably because of an increased TGFβ type II receptor level [ 49 ] . It is interesting that TGFβ-dependent downregulation of Ese-1/Esx is not affected by SB-203580.
However, TGFβ downregulated Ese-1/Esx mRNA levels faster than it upregulated Smad7 expression excluding the possibility that Smad7 mediates the TGFβ effect on Ese-1/Esx, at least at the initial phase.
We present data showing that TGFβ downregulated the Ese-1/Esx transcript, a novel and yet unpublished finding.
The other ets gene that we tested was ese-1/esx , a recently characterized member of the ets gene family, originally identified in epithelial cells [ 30 ] . Ese-1/Esx has been found to regulate the expression of TGFβ type II receptor [ 31 ] . We could show for the first time that the level of the Ese-1/Esx transcript was strongly downregulated in the presence of TGFβ.
One way by which Smad7 can inhibit TGFβ-dependent gene expression is by blocking phosphorylation, and, hence, nuclear import of Smad3 and Smad2 [ 23 ] . More recent data showing that Smad7 is able to interact with histone deacetylases suggest an additional role for Smad7 as a transcriptional co-repressor [ 50 ] . Thus, Smad7 might interfere directly with Ese-1/Esx gene transcription.
