Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Promotes Angiogenesis by Inducing Angiopoietin-2 Expression via AP-1 and Ets1
8 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Infection by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is required for the development of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), a highly inflammatory angiogenic tumor of endothelial cells commonly found in untreated AIDS patients. Angiopoietin 2 (Ang-2) modulates the vasculature during inflammation and angiogenesis, but the mechanism by which KSHV regulates Ang-2 expression has not been investigated. Here, we show that...
