Upstream stimulatory factor‐2 mediates quercetin‐induced suppression of PAI‐1 gene expression in human endothelial cells
12 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
The polyphenol quercetin (Quer) represses expression of the cardiovascular disease risk factor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in cultured endothelial cells (ECs). Transfection of PAI-1 promoter-luciferase reporter deletion constructs identified a 251-bp fragment (nucleotides -800 to -549) responsive to Quer. Two E-box motifs (CACGTG), at map positions -691 (E-box1) and -575 (E-box2), are platforms for...
