Abstract—As distal targets and mediators of signal transduction pathways, activator protein-1 (AP-1), c-Jun, and c-Fos are among the primary regulators of genes involved in cell function, proliferation, and differentiation. By using adenovirus-mediated gene transfer, we show that overexpression of AP-1 proteins directly causes coinduction of gene expression of an adhesion molecule, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and a chemokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), in human vascular endothelial cells (ECs). The AP-1–induced gene expression occurs through a mechanism independent of nuclear factor-{kappa}B. Because the induced expression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in ECs has been implicated in endothelial activation and a number of important vascular disorders, it is suggested that AP-1 activation may play an important role in the pathogeneses of inflammation, angiogenesis, and atherogenesis.


Key Words: endothelial activation • AP-1 • adenovirus • adhesion molecules • chemokines
