Role of Histone Deacetylation in Cell-specific Expression of Endothelial Nitric-oxide Synthase*
Gan, Yehua, Shen, Ying H., Wang, Jian, Wang, Xinwen, Utama, Budi, Wang, Jing, ...
Histone acetylation plays an important role in chromatin remodeling and gene expression. The molecular mechanisms involved in cell-specific expression of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) are...
Wang, Jian, Dudley, Donald, Wang, Xing Li
The T–786C promoter and 27-bp repeat intron 4 polymorphisms in the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) gene have been inconsistently associated with various eNOS-related phenotypic changes. We explored...

Cigarette-induced endothelial dysfunction could be an early mediator of atherosclerosis. In this study, we explored the mechanisms of cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced human aortic endothelial...
SENTHIL, DURAISAMY, RAVEENDRAN, MUTHUSWAMY, SHEN, YING H., UTAMA, BUDI, DUDLEY, DONALD, WANG, JIAN, ...
DNA polymorphisms in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene have been shown to be associated with constitutive eNOS expression and coronary artery disease (CAD). In the present study we...
Passage-Dependent Changes in Baboon Endothelial Cells—Relevance to In Vitro Aging
SHI, QIANG, AIDA, KEIKO, VANDEBERG, JOHN L., WANG, XING LI
In vitro cell culture system is a useful model for aging-related changes in a wide spectrum of biomedical research. In this study, we explored the passage and donor age-dependent changes in baboon...
Effect of Nuclear Actin on Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression

Regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase by small RNA
Zhang, Ming-Xiang, Ou, Hesheng, Shen, Ying H., Wang, Jing, Wang, Jian, Coselli, Joseph, ...
Repeats (27-nt) in intron 4 have been shown to play a cis-acting role in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) promoter activity. We hypothesize that the 27-nt repeats could be the source of small...

Hurricane Katrina: Impact on Cardiac Surgery Case Volume and Outcomes
Bakaeen, Faisal G., Huh, Joseph, Chu, Danny, Coselli, Joseph S., LeMaire, Scott A., Mattox, Kenneth L., ...
Hurricane Katrina produced a surge of patient referrals to our facility for cardiac surgery. We sought to determine the impact of this abrupt volume change on operative outcomes. Using our cardiac...
Effect of 27nt Small RNA on Endothelial Nitric-Oxide Synthase Expression
Zhang, Ming-Xiang, Zhang, Cheng, Shen, Ying H., Wang, Jian, Li, Xiao-Nan, Chen, Liang, ...
We have reported previously that the 27nt repeat polymorphism in endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) intron 4—a source of 27nt small RNA—inhibits eNOS expression. In the current study, we...
