SP3 Represses the SP1-mediated Transactivation of the HumanCOL2A1 Gene in Primary and De-differentiated Chondrocytes
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Sp1 and Sp3 effects on the transcription of the human alpha1(II) procollagen gene (COL2A1) were investigated in both differentiated and de-differentiated rabbit articular chondrocytes. Transient transfection with constructs of deleted COL2A1 promoter sequences driving the luciferase reporter gene revealed that the region spanning -266 to +121 base pairs showed Sp1-enhancing effects, whatever the differentiation...
