1 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Chronic airway diseases are characterized by inflammation and mucus overproduction. The MUC5AC mucin gene is upregulated by the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) via activation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in the NCI-H292 cancer cell line and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the HBE1 transformed cell line, with each transcription factor binding to a cognate cis site in the proximal...
