Multifactorial regulation of topoisomerase IIa (TopoIIa). TopoIIa gene transcription is under control of gene signals and proliferative signals. Redox-sensitive protein complexes regulate mRNA half-life. Variable mRNA splicing produces protein isoforms: the cytoplasmic form is inactive, the nuclear form is active. Nuclear receptors regulate transport of these isoforms depending on the cell proliferative phase [43].
