Abstract
Exercise and statins restore the endothelial expression of Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2), which is diminished in diabetic db/db mice. Endothelium-specific overexpression of KLF2 improves endothelium-dependent relaxation and flow-mediated dilation through increasing nitric oxide bioavailability. KLF2 promotes endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) coupling and phosphorylation in addition to its known role in eNOS transcription. KLF2 upregulates the expression of several panels of genes that regulate eNOS activity.
