Role of Activating Protein-1 in the Regulation of the Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 Gene Expression by Tumor Necrosis Factor-α
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
Endothelial cell surface expression of VCAM-1 is one of the initial steps in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The inflammatory response transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB plays an important role in the regulation of VCAM-1 expression by various stimuli including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Other transcription factors may modulate this response through interaction with NF-kappaB factors....
