N-caproylsphingosine 0-13 telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens 231-236 15951564-2 2005 The activity of the N-terminal truncated hTERT promoter, lacking the c-Myc recognition (E-box) region but containing multiple Sp1/Sp3 sites, was also significantly inhibited by C6-ceramide, indicating a role for ceramide in the regulation of Sp1/Sp3 function. N-caproylsphingosine 177-188 telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens 41-46 15951564-4 2005 Treatment with C6-ceramide inhibited the trans-activation function of overexpressed Sp1, whereas it induced the repressor effects of exogenous Sp3 on the hTERT promoter. N-caproylsphingosine 15-26 telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens 154-159 15951564-6 2005 In contrast, the promoter DNA-binding activity of Sp3 was slightly increased in response to C6-ceramide, resulting in the increased ratio of Sp3/Sp1 on the hTERT promoter, which was concomitant with the reduced recruitment of RNA polymerase II to the promoter. N-caproylsphingosine 92-103 telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens 156-161 15951564-8 2005 Mechanistically, the data demonstrated that C6-ceramide reduced the acetylation of Sp3 protein and partially blocked the activation of the hTERT promoter by the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A. N-caproylsphingosine 44-55 telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens 139-144 11441001-3 2001 Semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Northern blot analyses showed that C(6)-ceramide significantly decreased hTERT mRNA in a time-dependent manner. N-caproylsphingosine 114-127 telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens 152-157
