Cloning and characterization of human oncostatin M promoter
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Oncostatin M (OSM), an IL-6 subfamily cytokine, inhibits proliferation and causes morphological changes in many tumor cell lines. GM-CSF, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induce OSM expression. To investigate the mechanisms governing OSM promoter activity, we have cloned and partially sequenced an 8.5 kb fragment of human genomic DNA immediately 5' of the OSM coding region and...
