AIM OF THE STUDY: Smooth muscle cells build up the normal media and stabilize atherosclerotic lesions whereas an inflammatory component is determinant for unstable angina. Smooth muscle cells, currently identified by alpha-actin, present a phenotypic heterogeneity and alpha-actin can be reduced in pathology. We tried to characterize vascular cell types, particularly smooth muscle cells, and coronary...
