Regulation of Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation by β-Catenin/T-Cell Factor Signaling Involves Modulation of Cyclin D1 and p21 Expression
23 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
We previously observed that stimulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation with growth factors is associated with dismantling of cadherin junctions and nuclear translocation of beta-catenin. In this study we demonstrate directly that growth factors stimulate beta-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF) signaling in primary VSMCs. To determine whether beta-catenin/TCF signaling regulates VSMC proliferation...
