AP-2 transcription factor family member expression, activity, and regulation in human epidermal keratinocytes in vitro

The AP-2 transcription factor family is presumed to play an important role in the regulation of the keratinocyte squamous differentiation program; however, limited functional data are available to support this. In the present study, the activity and regulation of AP-2 were examined in differentiating human epidermal keratinocytes. We report that (1) AP-2 transcriptional activity decreases in differentiated keratinocytes but remains unchanged in differentiation-insensitive squamous cell carcinoma cell lines, (2) diminished AP-2 transcriptional activity is associated with a loss of specific DNA-bound AP-2 complexes, and (3) there is an increase in the ability of cytoplasmic extracts, derived from differentiated keratinocytes, to phosphorylate AP-2alpha and AP-2beta when cells differentiate. In contrast, extracts from differentiation-insensitive squamous cell carcinoma cells are unable to phosphorylate AP-2 proteins. Finally, the phosphorylation of recombinant AP-2alpha by cytosolic extracts from differentiated keratinocytes is associated with decreased AP-2 DNA-binding activity. Combined, these data indicate that AP-2 trans-activation and DNA-binding activity decrease as keratinocytes differentiate, and that this decreased activity is associated with an enhanced ability to phosphorylate AP-2alpha and beta.

Regulation of MAPK activation, AP-1 transcription factor expression and keratinocyte differentiation in wounded fetal skin

Fetal epithelium retains the ability to re-epithelialize a wound in organotypic culture in a manner not dependent on the presence of underlying dermal substrata. This capacity is lost late in the third trimester of gestation or after embryonic day 17 (E-17) in the rat such that embryonic day 19 (E-19) wounds do not re-epithelialize. Moreover, wounds created in E-17 fetuses in utero heal in a regenerative, scar-free fashion. To investigate the molecular events regulating re-epithelialization in fetal skin, the wound-induced expression profile and tissue localization of activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factors c-Fos and c-Jun was characterised in E-17 and E-19 skin using organotypic fetal cultures. The involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in mediating wound-induced transcription factor expression and wound re-epithelialization was assessed, with the effect of wounding on the expression of keratinocyte differentiation markers determined. Our results show that expression of AP-1 transcription factors was induced immediately by wounding and localized predominantly to the epidermis in E-17 and E-19 skin. c-fos and c-jun induction was transient in E-17 skin with MAPK-dependent c-fos expression necessary for the re-epithelialization of an excisional wound in organotypic culture. In E-19 skin, AP-11 expression persisted beyond 12 h post-wounding, and marked upregulation of the keratinocyte differentiation markers keratin 10 and loricrin was observed. No such changes in the expression of keratin 10 or loricrin occurred in E-17 skin. These findings indicate that re-epithelialization in fetal skin is regulated by wound-induced AP-1 transcription factor expression via MAPK and the differentiation status of keratinocytes.

CULTO IMPERIAL E O APOCALIPSE DE JOÃO Uma análise exegética de Ap 13,1-18

Esta dissertação investiga a narrativa de visão apocalíptica encontrada em Ap 13,1-18. Ela parte da pergunta sobre a realidade que influenciou o autor no momento da composição, utilizando-se, assim, de uma linguagem provocativa. Nossa hipótese indica que o Apocalipse de João, importante fonte das experiências do Cristianismo primitivo no final do primeiro século, proporciona uma dura crítica às exigências de adoração dirigidas às autoridades romanas através do Culto Imperial. As imagens das bestas descritas em Ap 13,1-18 expressam este tema através de uma linguagem provocativa, fundamentada na força da palavra e na tradição do mito do antagonista encontrado no Antigo Oriente Próximo. Neste sentido, acreditamos que o autor demoniza e estigmatiza as expressões da religião oficial, as quais tratam os governantes como seres divinos, e os promotores do Culto Imperial na região da Ásia Menor.(AU)
