In this study, we have investigated the transcriptional role of the FOXA site present in the promoter of the mitochondrial citrate carrier (CIC) gene. We have shown that wild-type (but not mutated) CIC FOXA site cloned in front of the luciferase promoter confers transcriptional activation of the gene reporter, particularly in cells overexpressing FOXA1. We have also demonstrated that overexpression and silencing of FOXA increases and reduces CIC transcript and protein levels, resp. In addn., FOXA1 silencing in INS-1 cells decreases not only CIC mRNA and protein but also the amt. of citrate in the cytosol and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. These results show that FOXA plays a role in the transcriptional regulation of CIC and in insulin secretion

Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the transcriptional role of the FOXA site present in the promoter of the mitochondrial citrate carrier (CIC) gene. We have shown that wild-type (but not mutated) CIC FOXA site cloned in front of the luciferase promoter confers transcriptional activation of the gene reporter, particularly in cells overexpressing FOXA1. We have also demonstrated that overexpression and silencing of FOXA increases and reduces CIC transcript and protein levels, resp. In addn., FOXA1 silencing in INS-1 cells decreases not only CIC mRNA and protein but also the amt. of citrate in the cytosol and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. These results show that FOXA plays a role in the transcriptional regulation of CIC and in insulin secretion
