An AP-1 Binding Sequence Is Essential for Regulation of the Human α2(I) Collagen (COL1A2) Promoter Activity by Transforming Growth Factor-β
1 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-be ta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) modulate type I collagen gene expression in fibroblasts. To fine-map the corresponding response elements in the human alpha2(I) collagen (COL1A2) promoter, we have generated a series of 5' deletion promoter/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene constructs. Transient cell...
