Differential control of the metal-mediated activation of the human heme oxygenase-1 and metallothionein IIA genes.

abstract：:We have studied the internalization and subsequent nuclear localization of [125I]-rTNF-alpha in a human osteoblast-like cell line, HOS TE85. TNF-alpha is rapidly internalized and optimum cellular levels are achieved in approximately 20 minutes at 37 degrees C. A portion of the internalized cytokine is translocated to ...
