title: Enhancement of c-sis proto-oncogene transcription in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells from patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
abstract: The expression of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was studied in seven patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. By means of nuclear run on transcription assay, the transcriptional level of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was investigated. Expression of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was enhanced. Enhancement of c-sis transcription may be involved in the process of activation of bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
