Abstract excerpt
Notch and transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) play pivotal roles during vascular development and the pathogenesis of vascular disease. The interaction of these two pathways is not fully understood. The present study utilized primary human smooth muscle cells (SMC) to examine molecular cross-talk between TGFbeta1 and Notch signaling on contractile gene expression. Activation of Notch signaling using Notch...
