Estrogen receptor-α gene transfer into bovine aortic endothelial cells induces eNOS gene expression and inhibits cell migration
15 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: It has been suggested that estrogen may improve endothelial cell function to delay the onset of atherosclerosis in pre-menopausal females, though its mechanism of action is not fully understood. We examined the hypothesis that human estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha) gene transfection improves the endothelial cell function. METHODS: A replication deficient adenoviral vector was used to transfect the...
