NF-κB regulates thrombin-induced ICAM-1 gene expression in cooperation with NFAT by binding to the intronic NF-κB site in the ICAM-1 gene

Abstract excerpt

Activation of NF-kappaB is essential for protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1)-mediated ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells. Here we show that PAR-1 activation induces binding of both p65/RelA and NFATc1 to the NF-kappaB binding site localized in intron-1 of the ICAM-1 gene to initiate transcription in endothelial cells. We discovered the presence of two NF-kappaB binding sites in intron-1 (+70, NF-kappaB site...
