Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 1 Expression Is Downregulated by Hypoxia in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelium
3 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Reduced oxygen level (hypoxia) induces endothelial dysfunction and release of the endogenous nucleoside adenosine. Human umbilical vein endothelium (HUVEC) function in an environment with 3% to 5% O2 and exhibit efficient adenosine membrane transport via human equilibrative nucleoside transporters 1 (hENT1). We studied whether adenosine transport and hENT1 expression are altered by hypoxia in HUVEC. Hypoxia (0 to...
