Shear stress induces hepatocytePAI-1gene expression through cooperative Sp1/Ets-1 activation of transcription
25 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Partial hepatectomy causes hemodynamic changes that increase portal blood flow in the remaining lobe, where the expression of immediate-early genes, including plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), is induced. We hypothesized that a hyperdynamic circulatory state occurring in the remaining lobe induces immediate-early gene expression. In this study, we investigated whether the mechanical force generated by...
