Roles for interleukin-1β, phorbol ester and a post-transcriptional regulator in the control of bradykinin B1 receptor gene expression
15 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
Bradykinin B1 receptor (BKB1R) is involved in a variety of pathophysiological processes, particularly those related to inflammation. The gene for this receptor is known to be upregulated by interleukin (IL)-1beta, a proinflammatory cytokine. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of the BKB1R gene expression have not been defined. We demonstrated that IL-1beta induces a rapid increase in...
