Abstract excerpt
In cultured human dermal fibroblasts, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta induced the mRNA expression of tenascin-C (TN-C). The molecular mechanism(s) underlying this process is not presently understood. In this study, we performed serial 5' deletion and a transient transfection analysis to define a region in the TN-C promoter mediating the inducible responsiveness to TGF-beta. This region contains an atypical...
