Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been shown to reduce endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) gene expression through post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability. The current study documented an independent effect of the cytokine on the eNOS gene promoter. TNF-alpha effected a time- and dose-dependent reduction in activity of a transiently transfected human -1197 eNOS-luciferase reporter. This...
