Cell-type specific regulation of human interstitial collagenase-1 gene expression by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in human fibroblasts and BC-8701 breast cancer cells
1997-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a potent cytokine that stimulates interstitial collagenase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1; MMP-1). In this study, we compared the mechanism(s) by which IL-1β induces collagenase gene expression in two very different cells, normal human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) and an aggressive breast cancer cell line, BC-8701 cells. Northern analysis showed that the time course of collagenase induction...
