Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A gene polymorphism in human glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) promoter region was newly identified and was found to significantly induce transcriptional expression of the GLO1 gene. The gene polymorphism was also positively correlated with the GLO1 enzyme activity. Furthermore, we identified associated proteins with the GLO1 gene polymorphism in the nuclear extracts, which is essential for transcriptional upregulation of GLO1 gene. Taken together, these results suggested that epigenetic regulation could play an important role in human GLO1 gene expression.
