| Abstract | Transcriptional up-regulation of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type-2 (PAI-2) gene is a major response to cellular stress. The expression of PAI-2 is induced by a variety of cytokines and growth factors that act in a cell type- and differentiation stage-dependent manner. We previously reported that the human SERPINB2 gene promoter is controlled by three major transcription regulatory domains: an inducible proximal promoter, an upstream silencer (PAUSE-1), and a distal transactivator region between −5100 and −3300, which appears to overcome inhibition mediated by the silencer. The distal transactivator region is inducible by the phorbol ester PMA, a potent activator of the protein kinase C (PKC) pathway that is a powerful inducer of PAI-2 gene expression in monocytes, macrophages, and myelomonocytic cells as well as in epidermal keratinocytes. Here we show that a 21-bp region (−4952/−4932), containing an AP-1 element, is both necessary and sufficient for PMA-induced transactivator activity in PAI-2-expressing U937 cells. This site specifically binds FosB in PAI-2-expressing U937 cells but not in HeLa cells that do not express PAI-2, and overexpression of FosB, c-Fos, or c-Jun in HeLa cells is sufficient to cause derepression of transcription from the SERPINB2 promoter. Although FosB is likely to be involved in transactivator-mediated derepression of PAI-2 transcription in macrophage-like cells, as exemplified by the U937 cell line, c-Jun may be functional in other cell types. These data suggest a model for the transcriptional control of the human PAI-2 gene and further our understanding of the molecular basis for its tissue-specific expression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
