The aims of the present study were to identify the cis-acting element through which tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) inhibits collagen alpha1(I) gene transcription and the trans-acting factors involved in this effect in cultured hepatic stellate cells. Deletion analysis of the collagen alpha1(I) promoter demonstrated that TNFalpha inhibited gene expression through an element located between -59 and + 116 bp...
