✦ Synopsis

As a result of differential splicing, one subunit of the nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) consists of two major isoforms designated short (NF-YaS) and long (NF-YaL). In proliferating normal human fibroblasts, NF-YaL is by far the more expressed isoform. Surprisingly, NF-YaS was found by immunoblotting to be as prominent as NF-YaL in simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed cell derivatives. As a consequence, two NF-Y/DNA complexes, one containing the long and the other the short isoform, were formed with extracts from transformed cells and a target promoter element in electrophoretic mobility-shift assays. Only the complex containing NF-YaL was detected with extracts from normal fibroblasts. Furthermore, the NF-Y recognition motif contributed to promoter activation in SV40-transformed cells but not in normal, cells. Our finding links transcription stimulation in transformed cells to quantitative changes in the expression of an NF-Ya subunit.

## Abstract The 1B isoforms of the divalent metal transporter (DMT1) have recently been shown to be regulated transcriptionally via NF‐κB but whether other regulatory elements are present on this promoter, however, have not been determined. Accordingly, studies were performed to delineate a minimal

Oxidative stress plays a key role in liver fibrosis. Both inflammatory cells and activated Kupffer cells produce H 2 O 2 , an oxidant involved in the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC). Increased production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) in fibrotic livers is associated in part with
