A Promoter Recruitment Mechanism for Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-induced Interleukin-8 Transcription in Type II Pulmonary Epithelial Cells
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
The alveolar macrophage-derived peptide tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) initiates pulmonary inflammation through its ability to stimulate interleukin-8 (IL-8) synthesis in alveolar epithelial cells through an incompletely described transcriptional mechanism. In this study, we use the technique of ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LMPCR) to record changes in transcription factor occupancy of the...
