Differential and Opposing Regulation of PAI-1 Promoter Activity by Estrogen Receptor α and Estrogen Receptor β in Endothelial Cells
25 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
To investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in the estrogen-dependent control of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene expression in vascular cells, we compared the transactivation properties of estrogen receptors (ERalpha and ERbeta) in regulating the activity of a human PAI-1 promoter reporter construct in transfected bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). ERalpha increased PAI-1 promoter...
