Actin polymerization in differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells requires vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein.

American journal of physiology. Cell physiology - 1 Mar 2010

Abstract excerpt

Our group has previously shown that vasoconstrictors increase net actin polymerization in differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells (dVSMC) and that increased actin polymerization is linked to contractility of vascular tissue (Kim et al., Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 295: C768-778, 2008). However, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we evaluated the possible functions of the...
