Abstract excerpt
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation occurs in vascular obstructive events such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. We previously showed that Notch receptors are induced in smooth muscle cells during vascular remodeling. Our goal was to determine the mechanisms employed by Notch signaling to regulate proliferation. Activation of Notch1 and Notch4 induced the VSMC-selective target genes HRT1 and HRT2,...
