## Abstract The expression of a set of cell cycle dependent (CCD) genes (c‐fos, c‐myc, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), and thymidine kinase (TK)) was comparatively studied in cultured arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) during exit from quiescence and exponential proliferation. These genes, which wer

Abstract
Serum stimulation of arterial smooth muscle cells in culture induces a progression through the cell cycle and cell proliferation. Most genes previously described as cell cycle‐dependent in various cell types also demonstrate a cell cycle‐dependent expression in arterial smooth muscle cells. As in other cell types, these genes can be classified into three groups according to their mode of expression: “immediate early” genes (c‐fos, c‐myc,…), “delayed early” genes (2F1,…), and “late‐G1” genes (proliferating cell nuclear antigen, thymidine kinase,…). In addition to these previously described genes, three genes isolated from a cDNA library of stimulated smooth muscle cells have been demonstrated to be cell cycledependent: A21, the rat JE gene, and L51 can be classified as “immediate early” genes, while M11 represents a new member of the “delayed early” gene family.
