## Abstract We have shown previously that nitricโoxide (NO) can induce apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and that the NOโinduced apoptosis is accompanied by an increase in arachidonic acid release via cytoplasmic Ca^2+^โdependent phospholipase A~2~ (cPLA~2~). We have evidence that d

There is clear evidence implicating a role for angiotensin II in control of hypertrophic growth of vascular smooth muscle cells in vivo. However, the specific mechanisms whereby angiotensin II influences smooth muscle cell growth have not been defined. The focus of this mini-review is to consider h
## Abstract Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a pleiotropic second messenger that regulates numerous cellular processes. In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), these include cell proliferation, migration, and contractility. Here we show that cAMPโelevating agents induce dramatic morphological changes in VSMCs
