High impact information on Rest

  • The GluR2 silencer reduced promoter activity in glia and non-neuronal cell lines by two- to threefold, was without effect in cortical neurons, and could bind the RE1-silencing transcription factor (REST) because cotransfection of REST into neurons reduced GluR2 promoter activity in a silencer-dependent manner [1].
  • Eight groups [Condition: Rest or Exercise; Drug: Saline, 30 mg kg(-1)N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), 300 mg kg(-1) L-NAME or 300 mg kg(-1) D-NAME] were used to determine the effect of NOS inhibition on the Flt-1 mRNA response to exercise [2].
