IL-4 and IL-13 Induce SOCS-1 Gene Expression in A549 Cells by Three Functional STAT6-Binding Motifs Located Upstream of the Transcription Initiation Site
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Proteins of the suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family have important functions as negative regulators of cytokine signaling. We show here that SOCS-1 expression can be induced in the human epithelial lung cell line A549 by IL-4 and IL-13. Analysis of reporter gene constructs under control of the SOCS-1 promoter provides evidence that IL-4- and IL-13-induced up-regulation is dependent on three...
