ETS1 — PF4
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Okada et al., Blood 2003
:
We previously reported that GATA-1 and
ETS-1 regulate the rat
PF4 promoter and transactivate the PF4 gene ... In nonmegakaryocytic HepG2 cells, GATA-1 and
ETS-1 activate the
PF4 promoter approximately 10-fold
Minami et al., Eur J Biochem 1998
:
Both
Ets-1 and GATA-1 are
essential for positive regulation of
platelet factor 4 gene expression ... In order to investigate how the
Ets and GATA motifs
affect PF4 promoter activity, we constructed Ets and/or GATA motif mutant genes ... A single disruption of either
-75Ets , -135GATA, or -30GATA significantly
reduced PF4 promoter activity, and double disruptions involving these motifs completely abolished it ... Co-transfection experiments showed that the overexpression of
Ets-1 and/or GATA-1
enhanced the expression of the
PF4 promoter reporter gene ... These
effects of
Ets-1 and GATA-1 on
PF4 promoter activity are additive ... All these results strongly suggest that both
Ets-1 and GATA-1
play key roles in the positive regulation of
PF4 gene expression
