An important aspect of vascular biology is the identification of regulators of stress-sensitive genes that play critical roles in mediating inflammatory response. Here, we show that expression of HuR in human umbilical vein endothelial cells is regulated by shear stress and statin treatment; HuR, in turn, regulates other stress-sensitive genes such as Kruppel-like factor 2 (Klf2), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP-4). We found that siRNA knockdown of H ...[more]
