Abstract excerpt
Increased expression and activity of 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LO) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and vascular complications. However, the consequences of 12/15-LO overexpression for VSMC migration and inflammatory gene expression are not known. In this study, 12/15-LO was overexpressed using adeno- and baculoviral vectors in human VSMC (HVSMCs) and...
