Comparison of Promoters for the Murine and Human P-selectin Genes Suggests Species-specific and Conserved Mechanisms for Transcriptional Regulation in Endothelial Cells
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
P-selectin, an adhesion receptor for leukocytes, is constitutively expressed in megakaryocytes and endothelial cells. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increases synthesis of P-selectin in murine but not in human endothelial cells. To identify potential species-specific and conserved mechanisms for regulation of expression of P-selectin, we cloned the 5'-flanking region of the...
