Physical Interaction Between Retinoic Acid Receptor and Sp1: Mechanism for Induction of Urokinase by Retinoic Acid
15 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
Induction of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) by retinoic acid (RA) is the initial event preceding certain subsequent biological changes in vascular endothelial cells. We investigated the molecular mechanism by which RA stimulates the expression of uPA, which lacks a canonical RA receptor (RAR)-responsive element, in bovine and human aortic endothelial cells. Upon stimulation with RA, mRNA levels of RARalpha...
