Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Nitric oxide inhibits smooth muscle cell migration after arterial injury, but the detailed mechanism is not fully understood. The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) lowers cell Ca2+ by increasing intracellular Ca2+ uptake and inhibiting extracellular Ca2+ influx. Our previous studies showed that NO causes cyclic GMP-independent arterial relaxation by increasing SERCA activity by...
