Myocyte-dependent Regulation of Endothelial Cell Syndecan-4 Expression
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Syndecan-4 is a unique member of the syndecan gene family that has the ability to bind and activate protein kinase C-alpha. Whereas increased syndecan-4 levels have been noted in ischemic hearts, little is known regarding the regulation of its expression. To investigate the role of cardiac myocytes in induction of syndecan-4 expression, human endothelial cells (ECV304) were exposed to a medium conditioned by...
