Activation of MRTF-A–dependent gene expression with a small molecule promotes myofibroblast differentiation and wound healing
30 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) regulate cellular contractility and motility by associating with serum response factor (SRF) and activating genes involved in cytoskeletal dynamics. We reported previously that MRTF-A contributes to pathological cardiac remodeling by promoting differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts following myocardial infarction. Here, we show that forced expression of...
