## Abstract Increased expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI‐1) is associated with decreased apoptosis of neoplastic cells. We sought to determine whether PAI‐1 alters apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and, if so, by what mechanisms. A twofold increase in the expre
Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a metal chelating compound, is known to induce cell death in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). However, the molecular mechanism for PDTC-induced VSMC death is not well understood. Addition of PDTC reduced cell growth and DNA synthesis on VSMC in low density con
