In this study we investigated whether the regulation by A23187, PMA and CsA was occured at a transcriptional level by reporter gene assays. A promoter region spanning from -1460 to +40 of IL-8 gene was PCR- amplified and inserted upstream of a luciferase reporter gene. Various deletion mutants were also constructed. Transfection of the plasmids into HOS-TE85 cells demonstrated that the nucleotides between -133 and -60 base pairs upstream of IL-8 gene are essential and sufficient for its induction by A23187/PMA, and suppression of this induction by CsA., 国立情報学研究所で電子化したコンテンツを使用している。}, pages = {52--54}, title = {Analysis of Interieukin-8 Gene Promoter function in Human Osteoblast-like Cells : Regulation by Ca^<2+>-signaling and Cyclosporin A}, volume = {46}, year = {2002} }
