The basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor BETA2/NeuroD is expressed in mammalian enteroendocrine cells and activates secretin gene expression

Mutoh, Hiroyuki, Fung, Brenda P., Naya, Francisco J., Tsai, Ming-Jer, Nishitani, Junko, Leiter, Andrew B.

The gene encoding the hormone secretin is expressed only in enteroendocrine S cells and insulin-producing pancreatic β cells during development. A 120-bp enhancer directs cell-specific expression of...

Novel Transcriptional Potentiation of BETA2/NeuroD on the Secretin Gene Promoter by the DNA-Binding Protein Finb/RREB-1

Ray, Subir K., Nishitani, Junko, Petry, Mary W., Fessing, Michael Y., Leiter, Andrew B.

The basic helix-loop-helix protein BETA2/NeuroD activates transcription of the secretin gene and is essential for terminal differentiation of secretin-producing enteroendocrine cells. However, in...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection and Replication in Normal Human Oral Keratinocytes

Liu, Xuan, Zha, Junli, Chen, Hongying, Nishitani, Junko, Camargo, Paulo, Cole, Steve W., ...

Recent epidemiologic studies show increasing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission through oral-genital contact. This paper examines the possibility that normal human oral...
