T-cadherin upregulation correlates with cell-cycle progression and promotes proliferation of vascular cells
23 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In vascular tissue, T-cadherin (T-cad) levels correlate with the progression of atherosclerosis, restenosis and tumour neovascularization. This study investigates whether T-cad influences proliferation of vascular cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: Cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and rat and human aortic smooth muscle cells (rSMC, hSMC) were used. T-cad was overexpressed in HUVEC...
