Tissue factor (TF) gene expression is rapidly induced in epithelial cells by phorbol 12-
myristate 13-acetate and serum. We have shown that this induction is mediated by a novel
serum response region (SRR)(− 111 to+ 14 bp) within the human TF promoter. In this study,
we characterized cis-acting genetic elements within the SRR that regulated basal and
inducible expression of the TF gene in HeLa cells. Gel mobility shift assays using
oligonucleotides spanning the entire SRR identified three 12-base pair (bp) motifs within …
