Abstract excerpt
Previously, we have reported that endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) promoter activity is decreased in pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs) in response to hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Thus the objective of this study was to identify the cis-element(s) and transcription factor(s) responsible for oxidant-mediated downregulation of the eNOS gene. Initial promoter experiments in PAECs treated with...
