Expression of both basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and FGF receptors (FGFR) by vascular smooth muscle cells suggests that autocrine FGF signaling mechanisms may have important functions. Inhibition of smooth muscle cell bFGF expression provokes apoptosis, suggesting that endogenous bFGF genera
Myocardin is a transcriptional co-activator of serum response factor (SRF) and can be degraded through ubiquitin-proteasome system. Our preliminary studies unexpectedly revealed that accumulation of myocardin in response to proteasome inhibition by MG132 or lactacystin resulted in decrease of transc
