Abstract excerpt
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator plays a central role in tissue remodeling by controlling the synthesis of the extracellular matrix-degrading plasmin. Urokinase expression is transcriptionally regulated by a variety of cytokines including TNF-alpha. The present study was undertaken to identify key transcription factor binding sites in the urokinase promoter necessary for the TNF-alpha-dependent induction...
