Genome-Wide Approaches Reveal Functional Interleukin-4-Inducible STAT6 Binding to the Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 Promoter
5 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Endothelial cell activation and dysfunction underlie many vascular disorders, including atherosclerosis and inflammation. Here, we show that interleukin-4 (IL-4) markedly induced vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), both in cultured endothelial cells and in the intact endothelium in mice. Combined treatment with IL-4 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) resulted in further, sustained induction of VCAM-1...
