Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Cultured fibroblasts of hypoxia-stimulated remodelled pulmonary artery (PA) adventitia proliferate at a greater rate compared with those of normal adventitia. Since protein kinase C (PKC) zeta is a replication repressor of normal adventitial fibroblasts, we hypothesized that loss of the repressor activity of PKCzeta might contribute to increased rate of proliferation in adventitial cells of remodelled PA....
