Expression of STAR also displayed an oscillating pattern after testosterone stimulation

6. activins A, B and AB down-regulate StAR expression and decrease progesterone production in human granulosa cells, likely via an ALK4 (show ACVR1B Proteins)-mediated SMAD2 (show SMAD2 Proteins)/SMAD4 (show SMAD4 Proteins)-dependent pathway.

Mouse (Murine) Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (STAR) interaction partners

1. studies suggest that miR (show MLXIP Proteins)-150 negatively regulates the expression of STAR and steroidogenesis of Leydig cells in mice

2. melatonin not only elevated progesterone (P) secretion, but also upregulated expressions of StAR and Cyp11a1 (show CYP11A1 Proteins) and also had an increased Ihh (show IHH Proteins) expression in endometrium.

3. The data suggest that STMN1 (show STMN1 Proteins) mediates the progesterone production by modulating the promoter activity of Star and Cyp11a1 (show CYP11A1 Proteins).

4. StAR may activate PPARgamma (show PPARG Proteins) by increasing UFAs, which leads to a protective role in systemic inflammation and insulin (show INS Proteins) resistance in obese mice.

5. ChIP results confirmed the binding of NRF1 (show NRF1 Proteins) to StAR promoter region. In conclusion, decline of NRF1 (show NRF1 Proteins) expression downregulated the level of StAR, which ultimately resulted in a reduction in testosterone synthesis.

6. target of the microRNA let-7, which itself is regulated by the long noncoding RNA H19 (show NCKAP1 Proteins)

7. The results demonstrated that ZnT7 (show SLC30A7 Proteins) gene silencing downregulated the expression of StAR, P450scc (show CYP11A1 Proteins) and 3beta-HSD (show HAL Proteins) as well as progesterone concentrations in the human chorionic gonadotrophin-stimulated Leydig tumor cells.

8. cAMP, SIK and CRTC mediate StAR expression through activation of individual StAR gene loci.

9. Bisphenol A induces oxidative stress by altering the expression of iNOS (show NOS2 Proteins), which consequently leads to the down regulation of StAR expression in the testis of male mouse

10. Results show that HIF1alpha (show HIF1A Proteins) appears to be a positive regulator of basal and stimulated STAR-expression, which under partial hypoxia is capable of increasing the steroidogenic capacity of granulosa cells.

Zebrafish Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (STAR) interaction partners

1. Results suggest that gonadotropins play a key role in the regulation of StAR, 17beta-HSD3, and P450aromA in zebrafish.

Cow (Bovine) Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (STAR) interaction partners

2. Data suggest that Escherichia coli infections (here, administration of LPS (show IRF6 Proteins)) provokes luteolysis in diestrus, non-lactating cows and down-regulation of expression of StAR in corpus luteum but has no effect on luteinization in the following cycle.

3. The binding of SF-1 (show NR5A1 Proteins) to the CYP17 (show CYP17A1 Proteins) and StAR promoter regions increased in theca cells incubated with low levels of luteinizing hormone.

4. Inhibition of the acetylation of histone H3 (show HIST3H3 Proteins) associated with the StAR promoter region by BMP-4 (show BMP4 Proteins) may be one of the inhibitory molecular mechanisms of progesterone synthesis in granulosa cells.

5. c-Fos/c-Jun (show JUN Proteins) complex binds to the proximal StAR promoter in glomerulosa cells, thus activating StAR gene expression and acute aldosterone biosynthesis.

Pig (Porcine) Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (STAR) interaction partners
