## Abstract Sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) has been shown to regulate smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration, and vascular maturation. S1P increases the expression of several proteins including COX‐2 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and contributes to arteriosclerosis. However, the mecha

## Abstract In our previous study, bradykinin (BK) exerts its mitogenic effect through Ras/Raf/MEK/MAPK pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In addition to this pathway, the non‐receptor tyrosine kinases (Src), EGF receptor (EGFR), and phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3‐K) have been imp
Oleanolic acid (OA), a widely used plant-derived triterpenoid, has been shown to possess potent antiatherosclerotic effects, which may be associated with the induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). However, the underlying mechanisms involved in the effect of OA on HO-1 expression are unclear. In the c
## Abstract The expression of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) has been implicated in progression of atherosclerotic lesions. The role and importance of the signaling pathway in the transcriptional regulation of MMP‐9 in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) was examined. Tumor necrosis factor
