Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The IP3 receptor-1 (IP3R1) mediates Ca2+ signals critical to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. The cell cycle-associated transcription factor c-Myb increases Ca2+ at the G1/S transition. Here we show the mechanism through which c-Myb regulates expression of IP3R1. METHODS & RESULTS: Ribonuclease protection confirmed transcriptional start (TS), and qRT-PCR revealed a 6-fold increase in...
