Signaling through CD31 protects endothelial cells from apoptosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Transplant vasculopathy in kidney and heart allografts is associated with marked elevation of endothelin-1 (ET-1), but a role for ET-1 in the pathogenesis of transplant vasculopathy and chronic rejection has not been established. We, therefore, tested whether inhibition of ET-1-converting enzyme by phosphora...
