Effective tissue repair results from a rapid, temporally orchestrated series of events. At the site of local tissue injury, the production of many growth factors and cytokines is, in part, stimulated by the early growth response transcription factors such as Egr-1, Egr-1 protein binds to a family of corepressor proteins called NAB which function to block or limit Egr-1 trans-activation of cognate target genes. NABS blocks Egr-1 activation of the tissue factor (TF) promoter, Egr-1 stimulated production of PDGF-AB, HGF, TGF beta (1), and VEGF and the endogenous expression of PDGF-AB and TGF beta (1). Expression of a wild-type NABS hut not a dominant negative NABS mutant abrogates Egr-1 driven TF promoter activity and tubule formation in an in vitro model of angiogenesis. These findings may have importance in any tissue that is subject to scarring after acute or chronic injury. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
