Abstract

The interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter is rapidly and transiently activated with other cytokines, including IL-1, tumor necrosis factor, and platelet-derived growth factor, as well as phorbol esters and agents that increase intracellular cyclic AMP. In this study, we have investigated cis-acting regulatory elements and trans-acting factors responsible for IL-1-induced IL-6 gene expression. Studies on the 5' deletion mutants of the human IL-6 gene suggested that the IL-1-responsive element was mapped within the IL-6 promoter region (-180 to -123) which was homologous to the c-fos serum-responsive enhancer element. Gel retardation assay identified two types of nuclear factors that bound to this region, one constitutive and the other inducible. These two factors recognized a 14-base-pair (bp) palindromic sequence, ACATTGCACAATCT. Furthermore, three copies of this 14-bp palindrome conferred IL-1 responsiveness to the basal enhancerless IL-6 promoter, indicating that a 14-bp-dyad symmetry sequence was an IL-1-responsive element in the IL-6 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.
