TCF7L2 Regulation of GATA6-dependent and -Independent Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Plasticity and Intimal Hyperplasia
2018-08-22
Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations in Wnt-coreceptor LRP6 and Wnt-regulated transcription factor TCF7L2 have been among the strongest genetic signals for type2 diabetes (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Mice with a CAD-linked LRP6 mutation exhibit obstructive coronary artery disease characterized by reduced TCF7L2 expression and dedifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC). While TCF7L2 maintains stemness and p...
