In this study, we investigated the effect of the extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by vascular cells on proteoglycan (PG) synthesis by vascular smooth muscle cells in culture.

Vessels remodel to compensate for increases in blood flow/pressure. The chronic exposure of blood vessels to increased flow and circulatory redox-homocysteine may injure vascular endothelium and disrupt elastic laminae. In order to understand the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation in vas
## Abstract The effect on phenotypic expression of rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) of the interstitial matrix proteins collagen I and fibronectin, the basal lamina proteins collagen IV and laminin, and the serum adhesion protein vitronectin was examined in culture. Experiments were perfor
