We have previously reported the differential expression of active ATF2 in the human myometrium throughout pregnancy and labour, and identified and partially characterized a novel splice variant ATF2-small (ATF2-sm). To further understand the role of these factors in the myometrium, we have used gene microarrays to define the target genes in cultured myometrial cells stably-transfected with ATF2 and ATF2-sm cDNAs. Many of the genes identified appear to have potential roles in regulating myometrial function and include proteins involved in G-protein receptor signalling, cytokine signalling, transcriptional regulation, cell-cycle control, formation of the extracellular matrix and cytoskeletal architecture. ATF2 was found to affect the expression of 204 genes; 113 being up-regulated and 91 down-regulated whereas the novel ATF2-sm factor altered the expression of 55 genes; expression was increased in 29 cases and decreased in 26. A further 25 genes affected by ATF2-sm were identified by suppression subtractive hybridisation (SSH). Notably, the genes affected by ATF2 and ATF2-sm appear to belong to discrete groups: only two genes were affected by both factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1677\/jme.1.01608","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,3]],"date-time":"2005-02-03T12:33:33Z","timestamp":1107434013000},"page":"19-35","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Identification of human myometrial target genes of the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway: the role of activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) and a novel spliced isoform ATF2-small"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Jarrod","family":"Bailey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Surgical and Reproductive Sciences, The Medical School, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G Nicholas","family":"Europe-Finner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Surgical and Reproductive Sciences, The Medical School, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026070808061198400_ABDEL-HAFIZ-ETAL-1992","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abdel-Hafiz\n            HA\n          , Heasley LE, Kyriakis JM, Avruch J, Kroll DJ, Johnson GL & Hoeffler JP 1992 Activating transcription factor-2 DNA-binding activity is stimulated by phosphorylation catalyzed by p42 and p54 microtubule-associated protein kinases.
