Abstract excerpt
Serum response factor (SRF) controls gene transcription in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and regulates VSMC phenotypic switch from a contractile to a synthetic state, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It is not known how post-translational SUMOylation regulates the SRF activity in CVD. Here we show that Senp1 deficiency in VSMCs increased SUMOylated SRF and the...
