Abstract excerpt
Stromelysin-1, a tissue-remodelling metalloproteinase synthesized by fibroblasts, has proteolytic activity against a variety of extracellular matrix components. Stromelysin-1 gene transcription is induced by the inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1. In fibroblasts transiently transfected with constructs containing 5'-deletion mutants of the human stromelysin-1 gene promoter, IL-1-induced transcriptional...
