Abstract:
Laryngeal carcinoma related gene 1(LCRG1) is a candidate tumor suppressor gene of Laryngeal carcinoma. To further investigate its transcriptional regulation, the transcriptional start sites for LCRG1 gene have been identified by 5′ RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) based on the bioinformation analysis of LCRG1. Then eleven luciferase expression vectors which contained potential human LCRG1 gene promoter were constructed. Luciferase reporter assay indicated that LCRG1 promoter region was mainly located in -169～+127 region nearby the major transcriptional start site. These results suggested that the region (-169～+127) includes an essential promoter for human LCRG1 gene transcription.
