- W2116048028 abstract "The transcription factor Oct-3/4 may be important in maintaining embryonic cells in an undifferentiated state. It is probably down-regulated at about the time that human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is first expressed in embryonic trophectoderm. Here we report that Oct-3/4 strongly inhibits the hCGβ subunit (hCGβ) promoter in JAr choriocarcinoma cells. Oct-3/4 reduced chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter expression from the −305hCGβ promoter by about 90% in transient co-transfection assays, but had no effect on expression from the −249hCGβ promoter. The −305/−249 hCGβ fragment specifically bound synthetic Oct-3/4 protein as measured in electrophoretic mobility shift assays, and the Oct-3/4-binding site was localized around −270 by methylation interference footprinting. Site-directed mutagenesis of this binding site abolished Oct-3/4 repression. When stably transfected into JAr cells, Oct-3/4 reduced the amounts of both endogenous hCGβ messenger RNA and hCG protein to less than 10% of controls. We suggest that silencing of Oct-3/4 in trophectoderm is a prerequisite for hCG up-regulation in early human embryos at the time of maternal recognition of pregnancy.
