Abstract excerpt
Senescence of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) has a crucial role in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a disease of vascular degeneration. Perturbation of cellular ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription triggers nucleolar stress response. Previously we demonstrated that induction of nucleolar stress in SMCs elicited cell cycle arrest via the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM)/ATM- and Rad3-related...
