Abstract excerpt
Endothelial cell injury underlies an increased occurrence of thromboembolic vascular disease in hereditary hyperhomocysteinemia. We have previously shown that homocysteine causes activation of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and activating transcription factor 3/liver regenerating factor 1 (ATF3/LRF1) and induces apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In this study, the activation of JNK...
