Deficiency of filamin A in smooth muscle cells protects against hypoxia‑mediated pulmonary hypertension in mice
26 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Filamin A (FLNA) is a high molecular weight cytoskeleton protein important for cell locomotion. A relationship between FLNA mutations and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has previously been reported; however, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. The present study aimed to explore the role of FLNA in vascular smooth muscle cells during the development of PAH. Smooth muscle cell (SMC)‑specific...
