Growth inhibition of bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells following long-term heparin treatment.

29 Nov 2009 Heparin (HP) inhibits pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) growth in vitro and vascular remodeling in vivo. Bârzu et al. (1994) suggested that the antiproliferative effect of HP on rat aortic smooth muscle cell in vitro diminishes with ... Read more...

S-phase kinase-associated protein-2 (Skp2) promotes vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and neointima formation in vivo.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation plays an important role in the development of postangioplasty or in-stent restenosis, venous graft failure, and atherosclerosis. Our previous work has demonstrated S-phase kinase-associated ... Read more...

Dependence of proliferative vascular smooth muscle cells on CD98hc (4F2hc, SLC3A2).

17 Oct 2009 Activation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to migrate and proliferate is essential for the formation of intimal hyperplasia. Hence, selectively targeting activated VSMCs is a potential strategy against vaso-occlusive disorders such as ... Read more...
