Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 8 A (LRRC8A) has been uncovered to play a role in pulmonary vascular remodeling during hypertension. The present study aims to investigate a novel mechanism involving LRRC8A in smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic transformation under the hypertension context. METHODS: Angiotensin (Ang)-II-treated human aortic SMCs were established as the cell model under the...
