Abstract excerpt
Retinoids inhibit rat vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation in vitro and intimal hyperplasia in vivo. We examined the mechanism of the antiproliferative effect of retinoids on human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (human CASMCs). The RAR ligands all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) and ethyl-p-[(E)-2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)-l-propenyl]-benzoic acid (TTNPB); a pan-RXR/RAR...
