Oncostatin M Stimulates Transcription of the Human α2(I) Collagen Gene via the Sp1/Sp3-binding Site
1 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
Oncostatin M (OSM), a member of the hematopoietic cytokine family, has been implicated in excessive bone growth and in the process of fibrosis. As part of an ongoing study of the molecular mechanisms of fibrosis, we have investigated the transcriptional regulation of the alpha2(I) collagen gene by OSM in human fibroblasts. An OSM response element was mapped by deletional analysis between base pairs (bp) -148 and...
