Iodine-131 51-55 early growth response 1 Homo sapiens 69-73 21531298-2 2011 As Egr1 promoter is activated by 131I and may promote human NIS (hNIS) expression, hNIS also induces 131I uptake and activates Egr1, so the existence of a positive feedback effect of 131I-promoted Egr1-hNIS expression is possible. Iodine-131 33-37 early growth response 1 Homo sapiens 3-7 21531298-5 2011 To test 131I-promoted hNIS expression, human malignant glioma U87 cells were transfected with Bac-Egr1-hNIS, stimulated with or without 131I; the expression of hNIS protein was detected by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry test. Iodine-131 8-12 early growth response 1 Homo sapiens 98-102 21531298-6 2011 In addition, the uptake and efflux of 131I were determined after the incubation of Bac-Egr1-hNIS-transfected U87 cells with or without 131I. Iodine-131 38-42 early growth response 1 Homo sapiens 87-91 21531298-11 2011 CONCLUSION: Our results indicated that an improved transgene expression of 131I-stimulated hNIS in U87 cells using a baculovirus vector containing the Egr1 promoter is possible, and the increased expression of hNIS is responsible for a higher 131I uptake.
