SMAD3/4-dependent transcriptional activation of the human type VII collagen gene ( <i>COL</i> <i>7A1</i> ) promoter by transforming growth factor β
8 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
The human type VII collagen gene (COL7A1) recently has been identified as an immediate-early response gene for transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta)/SMAD signaling pathway. In this study, by using MDA-MB-468 SMAD4-/- breast carcinoma cells, we demonstrate that expression of SMAD4 is an absolute requirement for SMAD-mediated promoter activity. We also demonstrate that the SMAD binding sequence (SBS)...
