Transcription of the alpha2(I) collagen gene (COL1A2) in fibroblasts is potently induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). Smad family proteins function as intracellular signal transducers for TGF-beta that convey information from the cell membrane to the nucleus. In the present study,
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is essential for normal epidermal homeostasis; however, the role of IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), regulators of IGF action, remains unclear. Here we examine the regulation of human keratinocyte-produced IGFBPs by epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growt
