Transcriptional Regulation of Prostaglandin Synthase 2 Gene Expression by Platelet-derived Growth Factor and Serum
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandin synthase 2 (PGS2) is an immediate-early gene induced in a variety of cellular contexts. We investigate here the transcriptional activation of the murine PGS2 gene in NIH 3T3 cells, in response to the mitogens platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or serum. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments demonstrate that a consensus cyclic AMP response element (CRE) in the murine PGS2 promoter is essential for...
