## Abstract **Background:** Neointima formation is a characteristic feature of atherosclerosis and post‐angioplasty restenosis, in which various soluble factors and mechanical injury stimulate signalling pathways in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), promoting their migration and proliferation, a
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a secreted member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of heparin-binding proteins. Studies reported to date indicate that it functions primarily as an important paracrine mediator of epithelial cell growth and differentiation. KGF appears to act via bindi
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) are upregulated in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells by cytokines produced at sites of inflammation. The cytokine profile for induction of VCAM-1, however, is different for the two cell types. Tumor
