Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signaling Activates the Human Interstitial Collagenase Promoter via the Bipartite Ets-AP1 Element
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
Interstitial collagenases participate in the remodeling of skeletal matrix and are regulated by fibroblast growth factor (FGF). A 0.2-kb fragment of the proximal human interstitial collagenase [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP1)] promoter conveys 4- to 8-fold induction of a luciferase reporter in response to FGF2 in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. By 5'-deletion, this response maps to nucleotides -100 to -50 relative to the...
