Abstract excerpt
CXCR1 and CXCR2 are receptors for angiogenic ELR+CXC chemokines and are differentially expressed on endothelial cells; however, their functional significance in angiogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we determined the functional significance of these receptors in modulating endothelial cell phenotype by knocking-down the expression of CXCR1 and/or CXCR2 in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1)...
