Abstract

Two distinct regions of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 promoter are responsive to autoregulation. Sequences located between nucleotides -454 to -323 and between the two major transcriptional start sites have positive regulatory activities and are induced by TGF-beta 1 in A-549 cells. The chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity of the upstream human TGF-beta 1 promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene is increased 8- to 10-fold by treatment of cells with TGF-beta 1, whereas that of the second promoter is increased approximately 3- to 4-fold. Using an S1 nuclease protection assay of chloramphenicol acetyl-transferase mRNA, we found that the steady-state expression of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase mRNA also is markedly increased. Seven distinct factors present in nuclear extracts from A-549 cells interact with the sequences between -454 and -323, strongly supporting the involvement of sequence-specific transcription factors in the transcriptional autoactivation of the human TGF-beta 1 gene.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
