Abstract excerpt
Expression of the human surfactant protein-A2 (hSP-A2) gene is lung specific, occurs in type II and Clara cells, and is developmentally and hormonally regulated in fetal lung. Using transfected human fetal type II cells, we previously observed that approximately 300 bp of 5'-flanking DNA mediated cAMP and interleukin-1 (IL-1) stimulation and dexamethasone (Dex) inhibition of hSP-A2 promoter activity. This region...
