Resumen
El factor de crecimiento derivado de plaquetas (PDGF) y sus receptores son vitales para una amplia gama de procesos fisiológicos como el desarrollo, la proliferación y la migración, así como para procesos patológicos como el crecimiento y la invasión de tumores. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue caracterizar in silico nuevos elementos reguladores cis (CRE) en las secuencias promotoras de genes PDGF para identificar los factores de transcripción (TF) asociados con estos sitios. Para caracterizar los CRE, recuperamos la secuencia promotora cercana al sitio de inicio de la transcripción (TSS) de la base de datos de promotores eucarióticos (EPD) ExPASy y realizamos una búsqueda y predicción in silico de nuevos CRE en las secuencias promotoras de los genes PDGF. Asimismo, evaluamos posibles factores de transcripción enriquecidos para estos CRE. Nuestro trabajo demostró la coexpresión en el glioblastoma del gen PDGFB y el factor de transcripción POU2F1, el cual se prevé que se una al gen PDGF, con una correlación moderada entre ambos (R² = 0,24). Se observaron asociaciones positivas similares entre el gen PDGFB y el factor de transcripción ZNF680 (R² = 0,21) y entre el gen PDGFB y el factor de transcripción FOXF1 (R² = 0,32). Estos hallazgos sugieren posibles relaciones entre el gen PDGFB y factores de transcripción específicos en el glioblastoma, aunque las interacciones reguladoras funcionales aún deben validarse experimentalmente. En general, los datos ponen de relieve patrones de coexpresión selectivos que involucran al gen PDGFB y a factores de transcripción candidatos. Estas observaciones proporcionan una base para investigar más a fondo las posibles relaciones transcripcionales en la biología del glioblastoma.
