Abstract excerpt
VEGF is a critical mediator of hypoxia-induced angiogenesis in numerous physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The hypoxic induction of VEGF is due in large part to an increase in the stability of its mRNA. We recently demonstrated that the stabilization of VEGF mRNA by hypoxia is dependent upon the RNA-binding protein HuR. This report describes the identification of a 40-bp functional HuR binding site...
