Cyr61/CCN1 and CTGF/CCN2 mediate the proangiogenic activity of VHL-mutant renal carcinoma cells (2008)

Chintalapudi, Mastan R., Markiewicz, Margaret, Kose, Nurgun, Dammai, Vincent, Champion, Kristen J., Hoda, Rana S., ...

The von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) protein serves as a negative regulator of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-α subunits. Since HIF regulates critical angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth...

Genetic factors in systemic sclerosis (2007)

Mayes, Maureen D, Trojanowska, Maria

Abstract A number of genetic loci have been identified that appear to be associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma). There is mounting evidence suggesting that these genetic associations...

The inhibitory effects of camptothecin, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, on collagen synthesis in fibroblasts from patients with systemic sclerosis (2001)

Czuwara-Ladykowska, Joanna, Makiela, Barbara, Smith, Edwin A, Trojanowska, Maria, Rudnicka, Lidia

Abstract The main manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc) is the overproduction of extracellular matrix, predominantly type I collagen. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of...

Fli-1 inhibits collagen type I production in dermal fibroblasts via an Sp1-dependent pathway. (2001)

Czuwara-Ladykowska, Joanna, Shirasaki, Fumiaki, Jackers, Pascale, Watson, Dennis K., Trojanowska, Maria

Fibrosis is characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), especially collagen. Because Ets factors are implicated in physiological and pathological ECM remodeling, the aim...

The bacteriophage T4 regA gene: primary sequence of a translational repressor (1984)

Trojanowska, Maria, Miller, Eric S., Karam, Jim, Stormo, Gary, Gold, Larry

The regA gene product of bacteriophage T4 is an autogenously controlled translational regulatory protein that plays a role In differential inhibition (translational repression) of a subpopulation of...

Czuwara-Ladykowska, Joanna, Makiela, Barbara, Smith, Edwin A, Trojanowska, Maria, Rudnicka, Lidia

The main manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc) is the overproduction of extracellular matrix, predominantly type I collagen. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of noncytotoxic...

Persistent Down-Regulation of Fli1, a Suppressor of Collagen Transcription, in Fibrotic Scleroderma Skin

Kubo, Masahide, Czuwara-Ladykowska, Joanna, Moussa, Omar, Markiewicz, Margaret, Smith, Edwin, Silver, Richard M., ...

The molecular and cellular mechanisms that maintain proper collagen homeostasis in healthy human skin and are responsible for the dysregulated collagen synthesis in scleroderma remain primarily...

Transcription Factor Fli1 Regulates Collagen Fibrillogenesis in Mouse Skin ▿

Asano, Yoshihide, Markiewicz, Margaret, Kubo, Masahide, Szalai, Gabor, Watson, Dennis K., Trojanowska, Maria

Biosynthesis of fibrillar collagen in the skin is precisely regulated to maintain proper tissue homeostasis; however, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain largely unknown....

Phosphorylation of Fli1 at Threonine 312 by Protein Kinase C δ Promotes Its Interaction with p300/CREB-Binding Protein-Associated Factor and Subsequent Acetylation in Response to Transforming Growth Factor β ▿

Asano, Yoshihide, Trojanowska, Maria

Previous studies have shown that transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)-induced collagen gene expression involves acetylation-dependent dissociation from the human α2(I) collagen (COL1A2) promoter...
