Differential Role of an NF-κB Transcriptional Response Element in Endothelial Versus Intimal Cell VCAM-1 Expression

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: Human and murine Vcam1 promoters contain 2 adjacent nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-binding elements. Both are essential for cytokine-induced transcription of transiently transfected promoter-reporter constructs. However, the relevance of these insights to regulation of the endogenous Vcam1 gene and to pathophysiological processes in vivo remained unknown. OBJECTIVE: Determine the role of the 5'...
