Abstract excerpt
Lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) is implicated in the development of atherosclerosis and certain autoimmune diseases, and is reported to induce tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) at the protein level in endothelial cells. This study was designed to investigate the effect of lysoPC on tPA gene expression and the underlying molecular mechanisms in cultured endothelial cells. LysoPC transiently induced the mRNA...
