Activation of a fibroblast-specific enhancer of the proalpha2(I) collagen gene in tight-skin mice.
OBJECTIVE: Reporter transgenes were introduced into the type 1 tight-skin (Tsk1/+) mouse model of scleroderma to test the hypothesis that fibroblast-specific genetic programs are activated in fibrosis. METHODS: Transgenes harboring upstream fragments of the 5' flanking region of the mouse proal...
