Abstract excerpt
The heat shock transcription factor (HSF) is an important transactivator of the heat shock genes. Recent studies have shown that HSF1 acts as a repressor of non-heat shock genes to protect against endotoxemia. In this study, we found that heat shock treatment and HSF1 over-expression augmented the induction of interleukin (IL)-10 mRNA. Computational analysis of the mouse IL-10 promoter region showed that three...
