Abstract excerpt
Suppression of smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation marker genes is central to SMC phenotype modulation during vasculo-proliferative diseases such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. Upregulation of the intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel (K(Ca)3.1) is integral for mitogen-induced suppression of SMC marker genes and post-angioplasty restenosis. Modulation of SMC marker gene expression has...
