Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide synthesized and secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Regulation of ET-1 production occurs at the level of gene transcription. We previously demonstrated a role for arachidonic acid as an intracellular mediator in the regulation of gene expre

## Abstract Retinoic acid (RA) and its derivatives inhibit the proliferation of normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) and some breast carcinoma lines by mechanisms which are not fully understood. To identify genes that mediate RA‐induced cell growth arrest, an HMEC cDNA library was synthesiz
## Abstract Tendon cells receive mechanical signals from the load bearing matrices. The response to mechanical stimulation is crucial for tendon function. However, overloading tendon cells may deteriorate extracellular matrix integrity by activating intrinsic factors such as matrix metalloproteinas
## Abstract Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an ω‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from fish oil, is efficacious in glomerular diseases where mesangial proliferation is a key event. We examined the mechanisms of action of EPA on platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF)‐stimulated rat mesangial cell mi
## Abstract The human prostate gland has low basal expression of the metallothionein‐1 and ‐2 proteins. In prostate cancer, MT‐1/2 protein expression is variable and correlates directly with the increasing Gleason score of the tumor. The goal of the present study was to determine if the RWPE‐1 cell
