Differential processing of osteopontin characterizes the proliferative vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype induced by allylamine.

Abstract excerpt

Repeated cycles of vascular injury by allylamine induce vascular lesions similar to those seen in atherosclerotic vessels, or following balloon catheterization. Vascular (aortic) smooth muscle cells harvested from allylamine-treated animals (i.e., allylamine cells) acquire a proliferative advantage relative to control counterparts that is associated with differential secretion and extracellular matrix...
