Sp1 transcription factor is a modulator of estradiol leptin induction in placental cells
Introduction Pleiotropic effects of leptin have been identified in reproduction and pregnancy, particularly in the placenta, where it functions as an autocrine hormone. The synthesis of leptin in normal trophoblastic cells is regulated by different endogenous biochemical agents, but the regulation o...

Results We demonstrated that Sp1 induces leptin expression determined by qRT-PCR, Western blot and transient transfection experiments. We also found that estradiol induction effect on leptin expression is enhanced by the over expression of Sp1 factor. Moreover, estradiol effect was not evidenced when Sp1 binding site on leptin promoter is mutated, suggesting that estradiol action is dependent on Sp1.

By over expression experiments, we have also found that Sp1 effect on leptin expression could be mediated by estrogen receptor alpha. Supporting this idea, the downregulation of estrogen receptor alpha level through a specific siRNA, abolished Sp1 effect on leptin expression. Discussion Taken together all these evidences suggest a cooperative behavior between estrogen receptor alpha and Sp1 transcription factors to induce leptin transcription. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd Fil:Maymó, J.
