From the Fibrosis is characterized by the excessive
deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), especially collagen. Because
Ets factors are implicated in physiological and pathological ECM
remodeling, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of Ets
factors in collagen production. We demonstrate that the expression of collagenous proteins and collagen

2(I) (COL1A2) mRNA was
inhibited following stable transfection of Fli-1 in dermal fibroblasts. Subsequent analysis of the COL1A2 promoter identified a
critical Ets binding site that mediates Fli-1 inhibition. In contrast, Ets-1 stimulates COL1A2 promoter activity. In
vitro binding assays demonstrate that both Fli-1 and Ets-1 form
DNA-protein complexes with sequences present in COL1A2 promoter.
Furthermore, Fli-1 binding to the COL1A2 is enhanced via
Sp1-dependent interaction. Studies using Fli-1 dominant
interference and DNA binding mutants indicate that Fli-1 inhibition is
mediated by both direct (DNA binding) and indirect (via protein-protein
interaction) mechanisms and that Sp1 is an important mediator of the
Fli-1 function. Furthermore, experiments using the Gal4 system in the
context of different cell types as well as experiments with the
COL1A2 promoter in different cell lines demonstrate that
the direction and magnitude of the effect of Fli-1 is promoter- and
cell context-specific. We propose that Fli-1 inhibits
COL1A2 promoter activity by competition with Ets-1. In
addition, we postulate that another factor (co-repressor) may be
required for maximal inhibition after recruitment to the Fli-1-Sp1
complex. We conclude that the ratio of Fli-1 to Ets-1 and the presence
of co-regulatory proteins ultimately control ECM production in fibroblasts.
