| pubmed-article:15597579 | pubmed:abstractText | Previous immunohistochemistry studies have shown that the transcription factor, Egr-1, is increased in human atherosclerotic lesions but is absent from the normal adjacent aortic wall. The hypothesis was investigated that Egr-1 is also increased in calcified heart valve cusps because of the unique presence in these tissues of proteins known to be regulated by Egr-1, such as tenascin C (TN-C). | lld:pubmed |
