TWIST1 Drives Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation in Pulmonary Hypertension via Loss of GATA-6 and BMPR2
21 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Rationale The bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) transcription factor TWIST1 (Twist-related protein 1) controls cell proliferation and differentiation in tissue development and disease processes. Recently, endothelial TWIST1 has been linked to pulmonary hypertension (PH) and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, yet the role of TWIST1 in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) remains so far unclear. Objectives To define...
