Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) exert antagonistic effects on collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts. We have recently shown that Y box-binding protein YB-1 mediates the inhibitory effects of IFN-γ on α2(I) procollagen gene (COL1A2) transcription through the IFN-γ response element located between –161 and –150. Here we report that YB-1 counter-represses TGF-β-stimulated COL1A2 transcription by interfering with Smad3 bound to the upstream sequence around –265 and subsequently by interrupting the Smad3-p300 interaction. Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses using inhibitors that the mediates of of YB-1 by the of COL1A2 by IFN-γ in the and of of YB-1 in human dermal antagonistic and between Smad3 and YB-1 by blot and using the Smad3 and YB-1 that YB-1 with Smad3 bound to the that YB-1 to the of the and of YB-1 with YB-1 with the Smad3-p300 by to the the by that COL1A2 transcription by the IFN-γ response element and through with the Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) exert antagonistic effects on collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts.
