Abstract excerpt
To proliferate, vascular smooth muscle cells first convert from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype. Earlier studies indicate that this process is supported by fibronectin and accelerated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Here, the mechanisms in this transition were further explored. Isolated rat aortic smooth muscle cells were treated with tyrphostin A9, a PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and...
