Alpha 8 integrin expression is required for maintenance of the smooth muscle cell differentiated phenotype.

Cardiovascular research - 1 Jul 2006

Zargham Ramin, Thibault Gaétan

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) de-differentiation is a prerequisite for migration from the tunica media to the intima after vascular injury. Integrin cell adhesion molecules participate in VSMC phenotype modulation. Alpha 8 beta 1 integrin is a differentiation marker of VSMCs and its knockdown heightens migration. In the present study, we examined whether or not alpha 8 integrin is required for the...
