Human Collagen Krox Up-regulates Type I Collagen Expression in Normal and Scleroderma Fibroblasts through Interaction with Sp1 and Sp3 Transcription Factors
14 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Despite several investigations, the transcriptional mechanisms that regulate the expression of both type I collagen genes (COL1A1 and COL1A2) in either physiological or pathological situations, such as scleroderma, are not completely known. We have investigated the role of hc-Krox transcription factor on type I collagen expression by human dermal fibroblasts. hc-Krox exerted a stimulating effect on type I...
