Abstract:
:Angiotensin II induces the expression of platelet-derived growth factor A-chain and B-chain in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells at the level of transcription. The renin-angiotensin system has also been implicated in the increased expression of platelet-derived growth factor in the mechanically-injured artery wall. This review is concerned with recent developments in our understanding of the signaling and transcriptional mechanisms mediating the inducible expression of one vasoconstrictor by another.
