Turnour necrosis factor stimulates endothelin-1 gene expression in cultured bovine endothelial cells

We have studied the effect of human recombinant tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on gene expression and production of endothelin-1 in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. TNF-α (10 and 100 ng ml−1) increased in a time dependent manner the preproendothelin-1 mRNA levels in respect to unstimulate...
