Recently we reported a novel means of regulating LIM domain protein function. Paxillin LIM zinc-finger phosphorylation in response to cell adhesion regulates the subcellular localization of this cytoskeletal adaptor protein to focal adhesions, and also modulates cell adhesion to fibronectin (Brown e

Heparin and heparan are potent inhibitors of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. To investigate the mechanisms by which heparin suppresses growth factor stimulated mitogenesis, the present experiments investigated the effects of heparin on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulat
## Abstract In certain cell systems, including neonatal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells, phorbol esters are growth inhibitory. Here we show that 1, 2βdioctanoylβsnglycerol (DiC8), when added 2 h after Ξ±βthrombin, reverses by 95% the induction of DNA synthesis in VSM cells by Ξ±βthrombin. Sphingos
## Abstract Interactions among growth factors, cells, and extracellular matrix regulate proliferation during normal development and in pathologies such as atherosclerosis. SPARC (secreted protein, acidic, and rich in cysteine) is a matrixβassociated glycoprotein that modulates the adhesion and prol
## Abstract Smooth muscle cells (SMC) play a central role in common vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. Understanding the molecular regulation of SMC proliferation at a transcriptional level may provide important clues for the targeted control of vascular hyperplasia. We re
