EGR1 promoter (Ubiquitous, radiation inducible) in pDRIVE expression plasmid

Inducible by radiation
Egr-1 is a member of the early growth response gene family like the c-fos and c-jun protooncogenes. Egr-1 expression is induced in many types of cells by various mitogenic stimuli or malignant transformation signals.

The Egr-1 promoter is known to be transiently activated by ionizing radiation. The radiation responsiveness is conferred by four CArG elements grouped in the 5’ distal region of the promoter [1].

The radiation inducibility of the Egr-1 promoter has been exploited in several experimental gene therapy strategies. In one of them, ionizing radiation was able to increase the expression of HSV1-tk 15- to 28-fold in human hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro and to significantly reduce the tumor size in nude mice [2].
