## Abstract Motility of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is an essential step for both normal and pathologic angiogenesis. We report here that breast tumor cells, such as MCFβ7 and MDAβMBβ231, can modulate this SMC migration. We present evidence that the tumor cellβderived plateletβderived growt
Proliferation of smooth muscle cells from the pulmonary arteries and aortas of fetal calves is inhibited by heparin in vitro. This effect is reversible and dose dependent. Comparisons with effects of other polysaccharides indicate that only extensively sulfated polysaccharides inhibit proliferation
Structural changes within the blood vessel wall such as hyperplasia and hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells are important factors in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Humoral growth factors such as angiotensin II (AII) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) may participate in the re
