Platelet-derived growth factor stimulates bone resorption by monocyte monolayers.

abstract：:We previously characterized the transcriptional activity of the human CRH (hCRH) gene promoter in the mouse anterior pituitary cell line AtT20. Here, we show that phorbolester stimulated through the cAMP response element (CRE), located between -227 and -220 relative to the putative cap site, about 2.6-fold the express...
