Previously, we identified GNMT (glycine N-methyltransferase) as a tumour susceptibility gene and characterized its promoter region. Besides, its enzymatic product-sarcosine has been recognized as a marker for prognosis of PCa. The goals of this study were to determine whether GNMT is regulated by androgen and to map its AREs (androgen response elements). Real-time PCR analyses showed that R1881, a synthetic AR (androgen receptor) agonist induced GNMT expression in AR-positive LNCaP cells, but not in AR-negative DU145 cells. In silico prediction showed that there are four putative AREs in GNMT-ARE1, ARE2 and ARE3 are located in the intron 1 and ARE4 is in the intron 2. Consensus ARE motif deduced from published AREs was used to identify the fifth ARE-ARE5\u00a0in the coding region of exon 1. Luciferase reporter assay found that only ARE5 mediated the transcriptional activation of R1881. ARE3 overlaps with a YY1 [Yin and Yang 1 (motif (CaCCATGTT, +1118\/+1126)] that was further confirmed by antibody supershift and ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) assays. EMSA (electrophoretic mobility shift assay) and ChIP assay confirmed that AR interacts with ARE5 in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo. In summary, GNMT is an AR-targeted gene with its functional ARE located at +19\/+33 of the first exon. These results are valuable for the study of the influence of androgen on the gene expression of GNMT especially in the pathogenesis of cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20130030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,29]],"date-time":"2013-07-29T10:56:46Z","timestamp":1375095406000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Androgen response element of the glycine N-methyltransferase gene is located in the coding region of its first exon"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Cheng-Ming","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AIDS Prevention and Research Center, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan 11221"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chia-Hung","family":"Yen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Natural Products, College of Pharmacy, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 80708"},{"name":"Center for Infectious Disease and Cancer Research, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 80708"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsai-Yu","family":"Tzeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VYM Genome Research Center, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan 11221"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu-Zen","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AIDS Prevention and Research Center, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan 11221"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kuan-Hsien","family":"Chou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VYM Genome Research Center, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan 11221"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tai-Jay","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Research and Education, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan 11221"},{"name":"Institute of Biotechnology in Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan 11221"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi-Ming","family":"Arthur Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Infectious Disease and Cancer Research, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 80708"},{"name":"Department of Microbiology, School of Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 80708"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111618163865500_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"859","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(03)12713-4","article-title":"Prostate cancer epidemiology","volume":"361","author":"Gronberg","year":"2003","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2021111618163865500_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1388","DOI":"10.2741\/1891","article-title":"Prostate cancer epidemiology","volume":"11","author":"Hsing","year":"2006","journal-title":"Front.
