Angiopoietin‐2 regulates the phenotypic switch of vascular smooth muscle cells
3 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
During uterine spiral artery remodeling, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) become disorganized and undergo phenotypic switching from a contractile to a more synthetic phenotype. We have previously reported that uterine natural killer cells induce this VSMC phenotypic switching by secreting angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2). Here, we identified the specific mechanisms by which Ang-2 plays a role in this phenomenon. VSMCs...
