Rho expression and activation in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Cell motility and the cytoskeleton - 1 Nov 2004

Worth Nathalie F, Campbell Gordon R, Campbell Julie H, Rolfe Barbara E

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells (SMC) involves dramatic changes in expression and organization of contractile and cytoskeletal proteins, but little is known of how this process is regulated. The present study used a cell culture model to investigate the possible involvement of RhoA, a known regulator of the actin cytoskeleton. In rabbit aortic SMC seeded into primary culture at moderate density, Rho...
