3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, statins, are known to exert endothelial athero-protective effects through the induction of specific transcriptional factors and their downstream target genes besides lowering LDL-cholesterol. However its critical mechanism has not still been elucidated. Here we report the comprehensive change of transcripts induced by pitavastatin.
Direct evidence for pitavastatin induced chromatin structure change in the KLF4 gene in endothelial cells.

Long noncoding RNA NEAT1-dependent SFPQ relocation from promoter region to paraspeckle mediates IL8 expression upon immune stimuli.

View SamplesKLF2 and KLF4 are important transcriptional factors in endothelial cells, however their roles in statin treatment has not been elucidated. Here we report the comprehensive change of transcripts of statin treated HUVECs transfected with siRNA KLF2 or KLF4.
