HERP1 Inhibits Myocardin-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Differentiation by Interfering With SRF Binding to CArG Box
9 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Myocardin is a coactivator of serum response factor (SRF) required for vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation. HERP1 is a transcriptional repressor, which is abundantly expressed in vascular system and is known to function as a target gene of Notch. However, the role of HERP1 in the pathogenesis of vascular lesions remains unknown. The present study characterizes the expression of HERP1 in...
