An Essential Role of the Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells in the Regulation of the Expression of the Cyclooxygenase-2 Gene in Human T Lymphocytes
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that transcriptional induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) isoenzyme occurs early after T cell receptor triggering, suggesting functional implications of cyclooxygenase activity in this process. Here, we identify the cis-acting elements responsible for the transcriptional activation of this gene in human T lymphocytes. COX-2 promoter activity was induced upon T cell activation both in...
