NFAT Implicated in Regulation of Endothelial Genes

Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, March 29th, 1999

Recent findings shed light on mechanisms that switch on the gene expression program induced by vascular endothelial growth factor.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic inducer that stimulates the expression of tissue factor (TF), the major cellular initiator of blood coagulation.

A.L. Armesilla and colleagues demonstrated that signaling triggered by VEGF induced DNA-binding and transcriptional activities of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) and AP-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) ("Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Activates Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells in Human Endothelial Cells: A...
