Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) regulates endothelial thrombotic function.
The vascular endothelium maintains blood fluidity by inhibiting blood coagulation, inhibiting platelet aggregation, and promoting fibrinolysis. Endothelial cells lose these nonthrombogenic properties on exposure to proinflammatory stimuli. We recently identified the Kruppel-like factor KLF2 as a novel regulator of endothelial proinflammatory activation. Here it is found that KLF2 differentially...
متن کاملKruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) regulates proinflammatory activation of monocytes.
The mechanisms regulating activation of monocytes remain incompletely understood. Herein we provide evidence that Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) inhibits proinflammatory activation of monocytes. In vitro, KLF2 expression in monocytes is reduced by cytokine activation or differentiation. Consistent with this observation, KLF2 expression in circulating monocytes is reduced in patients with chronic ...
متن کاملKruppel-like factor 2 regulates endothelial barrier function.
OBJECTIVE A central function of the endothelium is to serve as a selective barrier that regulates fluid and solute exchange. Although perturbation of barrier function can contribute to numerous disease states, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating this aspect of endothelial biology remains incompletely understood. Accumulating evidence implicates the Kruppel-like factor 2 (KL...
متن کاملThe thromboprotective effect of bortezomib is dependent on the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2).
Multiple myeloma confers a high risk for vascular thrombosis, a risk that is increased by treatment with immunomodulatory agents. Strikingly, inclusion of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib reduces thrombotic risk, yet the molecular basis for this observation remains unknown. Here, we show that bortezomib prolongs thrombosis times in the carotid artery photochemical injury assay in normal mice...
متن کاملKruppel-like factor-4 transcriptionally regulates VE-cadherin expression and endothelial barrier function.
RATIONALE Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin localized at adherens junctions (AJs) regulates endothelial barrier function. Because WNT (wingless) signaling-induced activation of the transcription factor Krüppel-like factor (KLF)4 may have an important role in mediating the expression of VE-cadherin and AJ integrity, we studied the function of KLF4 in regulating VE-cadherin expression and the co...
