Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 1. Gel shift analyses of elastin promoter restriction frag- ment and AP1 and AP2 consensus sequences with nuclear ex- tract from control and bFGF-treated pulmonary fibroblast cul- tures. Ten micrograms of nuclear proteins isolated from untreated and bFGF-treated pulmonary fibroblasts and 5.0 mg of poly(dI-dC) were incubated with 32P-labeled 2721- to 2472-bp restriction fragment or with 32P-labeled double-stranded AP1 or AP2 consensus oligode- oxynucleotides as described under “Materials and Methods.” The re- sulting complexes were resolved by electrophoresis through a 4% native polyacrylamide gel, and the DNA-protein complexes were visualized by autoradiography. Also shown in the 1st lane is the 32P-labeled 2721- to 2472-bp restriction fragment run without the addition of any nuclear extract as a control.
