Kruppel-like factor 2 regulates dendritic cell activation in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
OBJECTIVE Dendritic cells (DCs) activation is important in atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, but the mechanisms regulating activation of dendritic cells remain largely unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) in the proinflammatory activation of DCs in acute coronary syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, th...
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 کاملKruppel-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 کاملClinical significance of monocyte-derived dendritic cell activation in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an amplified state of inflammation and immune reaction. Dendritic cells (DCs) expressing various Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been observed in atherosclerotic lesions, however, the clinical significance of DCs in pathogenesis of ACS has not been completely investigated. Methods: Ten patients with ACS and 10 patients with stable angina pectoris (SA...
