Abstract excerpt
The human IL-6 promoter contains multiple regulatory elements such as those binding transcription factors belonging to the NF-kappaB (-75/-63), C/EBP (-158/-145 and -87/-76) and AP-1 (-283/-277) families. Herein, we report that ectopic expression of c-Jun, C/EBPdelta, and the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB synergistically activates an IL-6 promoter construct containing only a TATA box and a kappaB binding site. These...
