Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Senescent pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PA-SMCs) may contribute to the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension by producing secreted factors. The aim of this study was to explore the role in pulmonary hypertension of extracellular matrix proteins released by senescent PA-SMCs. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Polymerase chain reaction array analysis of human PA-SMCs undergoing replicative senescence...
