Oxidative Stress Regulates <i>CFTR</i> Gene Expression in Human Airway Epithelial Cells through a Distal Antioxidant Response Element
26 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) expression in human airway epithelial cells involves the recruitment of distal cis-regulatory elements, which are associated with airway-selective DNase hypersensitive sites at -44 kb and -35 kb from the gene. The -35-kb site encompasses an enhancer that is regulated by the immune mediators interferon regulatory factor 1 and 2 and by nuclear factor...
