Estradiol reverses TGF-β1-stimulated type IV collagen gene transcription in murine mesangial cells
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that estradiol suppresses types I and IV collagen synthesis by mesangial cells grown in the presence of serum. In the present study, we examined the interaction between estradiol and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on collagen IV synthesis. In a luciferase reporter gene construct containing the type IV collagen promoter and 1-chain regulatory sequences, we found that TGF-beta1...
