Abstract excerpt
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) induces intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) gene expression and leads to endothelial cell (EC) leukocyte adhesion. However, the transcriptional mechanism for LDL-induced EC perturbation remains to be fully explained. Activator protein-1 (AP-1) is induced after the exposure of ECs to LDL. In the present study, a regulated adenovirus expressing a dominant-negative mutant of...
