Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a key role in vascular remodeling diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension and restenosis. Recent researches have focused on the expression regulation of VSMC-specific marker genes and cytoskeleton organization in association with phenotypic modulation of VSMCs. Smooth muscle 22 alpha (SM22 alpha) is a novel differentiated VSMC marker,...
