The '''G-CSF factor stem-loop destabilising element (SLDE)''' is an [[cis-regulatory element|RNA element]] secreted by [[fibroblast]]s and [[endothelial cells]] in response to the inflammatory mediators [[interleukin-1]] (IL-1) and [[tumour necrosis factor-alpha]] and by activated [[macrophage]]s. The synthesis of G-CSF is regulated both [[transcription (genetics)|transcriptionally]] and through control of [[mRNA]] stability. In unstimulated cells G-CSF mRNA is unstable but becomes stabilised in response to IL-1 or tumour necrosis factor alpha, and also in the case of [[monocyte]]s and macrophages, in response to [[lipopolysaccharide]]. It is likely that the presence of the SLDE in the G-CSF mRNA contributes to the specificity of regulation of G-CSF mRNA and enhances the rate of shortening of the [[polyadenylation|poly(A) tail]].<ref>{{cite journal |
