Abstract excerpt
To understand the role of the cell cycle regulatory protein in the control of smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, we tested the overexpression of p21Waf1, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, in human normal (MS9) and immortalized SMCs (ISS10) transfected with ori-minus simian virus 40 DNA, using an adenovirus-mediated system. In MS9, overexpression of p21Waf1 resulted in the inhibition of cell cycle...
