Abstract excerpt
Lipoxin (LX) A(4,) a main endogenous stop-signal of inflammation, activates the G-protein-coupled receptor FPR2/ALX, which triggers potent anti-inflammatory signaling in vivo. Thus, the regulation of FPR2/ALX expression may have pathophysiological and therapeutic relevance. Here, we mapped a nucleotide sequence with strong FPR2/ALX promoter activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed specificity protein 1...
