Modifications of Chromatin Dynamics Control Smad2 Pathway Activation in Aneurysmal Smooth Muscle Cells
4 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The activation of the Smad2 signaling pathway is thought to play an important role in human aneurysmal diseases as described by an important body of research. We previously showed that constitutive Smad2 activation is associated with Smad2 mRNA overexpression in aneurysmal vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which is dependent on epigenetic regulation of the SMAD2 promoter involving histone...
