Abstract excerpt
Our objective was to define the signaling mechanisms by which mitogens such as insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) regulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) apoptosis. We confirmed that IGF-I inhibits serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis of cultured VSMCs in a dose-dependent and time-dependent fashion. To test the hypothesis that the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase signaling pathway regulates VSMC survival,...
