Vasse et al., Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 1999
:
OSM induced only a slight increase in the urokinase receptor and a 60 % increase in VEGF secretion, whereas it does not modify IL-8 secretion or bFGF levels
Wijelath et al., J Cell Sci 1997
:
Oncostatin M induces basic fibroblast growth factor expression in endothelial cells and promotes endothelial cell proliferation, migration and spindle morphology ... We investigated the effects of OSM on basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene expression in bovine arterial endothelial ( BAE ) cells ... Induction of bFGF mRNA transcripts by OSM was dose dependent
Faris et al., AIDS 1998
(Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome...) :
OSM , IL-1 and TNF-alpha induced the transcriptional activation of a bFGF promoter reporter gene in parallel with the activation of an AP-1 reporter
