Abstract Background The peptidyl-proline isomerase Protein Never in Mitosis Gene A Interacting-1 PIN1 regulates turnover of inducible nitric oxide synthase iNOS in murine aortic endothelial cells MAEC stimulated with E. coli endotoxin LPS and interferon-Y IFN . Degradation of iNOS was reduced by a calpain inhibitor suggesting that PIN1 may affect induction of other calpain-sensitive inflammatory proteins such as cyclooxygenase COX -2 in MAEC. Methods MAEC transduced with lentivirus encoding an inactive control short hairpin sh RNA or one
