An NF-kappa B-like transcription factor mediates IL-1/TNF-alpha induction of gro in human fibroblasts

Abstract excerpt

Normal human foreskin fibroblasts were used to examine transcriptional induction by IL-1 and TNF-alpha of the novel cytokine gro (melanoma growth-stimulating activity). Gro mRNA was expressed at levels 100-fold above background within 45 min of exposure to either IL-1 or TNF-alpha, in growing or serum-starved cells and a similar response was shown by IL-6. In contrast, as shown previously, gro mRNA was elevated...
