Abstract excerpt
The FasL/Fas system has been implicated in smooth muscle cell apoptosis and atherosclerotic plaque instability, a process that can lead to plaque rupture, precipitating myocardial infarction and sudden death. The transcriptional mechanisms regulating FasL gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells are poorly understood. We recently described a novel mechanism mediating inducible FasL gene expression in...
