Matrix metalloproteinase-1 up-regulation by hepatocyte growth factor in human dermal fibroblasts via ERK signaling pathway involves Ets1 and Fli1
16 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
In this study, we clarified the molecular mechanism(s) underlying the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 gene by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in cultured human dermal fibroblasts. HGF induced MMP-1 protein as well as mRNA at a transcriptional level via extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. The region in the MMP-1 promoter mediating the inducible responsiveness to HGF,...
