Molecular regulation and augmentation of prostacyclin biosynthesis.
Prostacyclin is a major vasoprotective molecule. It has multiple physiological functions. Its synthesis is determined by several enzymes of which cyclooxygenase (COX) plays a key role. Two isoforms of COX have been identified. Their expression and regulation are controlled by different mechanisms. COX-1 is constitutively expressed and physiologically important. PGI2 synthesis can be augmented by virus-mediated transfer COX-1 gene. This strategy may be useful for therapy of vascular thrombosis and tissue ischemia.
