Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) is a potent inhibitor of renin gene expression in renal juxtaglomerular cells. We have found that TNFalpha suppresses renin transcription via transcription factor NFkappaB, which targets a cAMP responsive element (CRE) in the renin promoter. Here we aimed to further clarify the role of NFkappaB and the canonical CRE-binding proteins of the CRE-binding protein/activating...
