Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been implicated as a contributing risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about molecular mechanisms of cardiac PAI-1 gene expression. To elucidate these mechanisms, dominant negative mutants of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK), p38MAPK, apoptosis signal-regulating kinase-1 (ASK-1) and c-Jun were overexpressed in rat neonatal ventricular...
