Molecular Basis of Cell-specific Endothelial Nitric-oxide Synthase Expression in Airway Epithelium
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in airway function, and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is expressed in airway epithelium. To determine the basis of cell-specific eNOS expression in airway epithelium, studies were performed in NCI-H441 human bronchiolar epithelial cells transfected with the human eNOS promoter fused to luciferase. Transfection with 1624 base pairs of sequence 5' to the initiation ATG...
