Transcriptional Activation of Mouse Mast Cell Protease-7 by Activin and Transforming Growth Factor-β Is Inhibited by Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have revealed that activin A and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) induced migration and morphological changes toward differentiation in bone marrow-derived cultured mast cell progenitors (BMCMCs). Here we show up-regulation of mouse mast cell protease-7 (mMCP-7), which is expressed in differentiated mast cells, by activin A and TGF-beta1 in BMCMCs, and the molecular mechanism of the...
