In Vivo Evidence of Angiogenesis Induced by Transcription Factor Ets-1
8 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A transcription factor, ets-1, regulates the transcription of metalloproteinase genes, the activity of which is necessary for matrix degradation and the migration of endothelial cells. However, no study has demonstrated that ets-1 itself has an angiogenic action in vivo. Thus, we examined (1) the effects of overexpression of the ets-1 gene on angiogenesis in a rat hindlimb ischemia model, and (2) how...
