YB-1 Coordinates Vascular Smooth Muscle α-Actin Gene Activation by Transforming Growth Factor β1 and Thrombin during Differentiation of Human Pulmonary Myofibroblasts
10 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Profibrotic regulatory mechanisms for tissue repair after traumatic injury have developed under strong evolutionary pressure to rapidly stanch blood loss and close open wounds. We have examined the roles played by two profibrotic mediators, transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) and thrombin, in directing expression of the vascular smooth muscle alpha-actin (SMalphaA) gene, an important determinant of...
