Abstract excerpt
Filamin (FLN) plays an important role in differentiation, migration, and signal transduction in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We hypothesized that suppression of FLN expression would inhibit differentiation and migration of VSMCs, and interrupt the phenotype switch of these cells. We designed and tested different shRNA sequences to silence FLN expression. The degree of silencing was assessed at mRNA...
