Transforming growth factor-β1 regulation of bone sialoprotein gene transcription: Identification of a TGF-β activation element in the rat BSP gene promoter
15 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) increases steady-state mRNA levels of several extracellular matrix proteins in mineralized connective tissues. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a major constituent of the bone matrix, thought to initiate and regulate the formation of mineral crystals. To determine the molecular pathways of TGF-beta 1 regulation of bone proteins, we have analyzed the effects of the TGF-beta 1...
