Retardation of atherosclerosis by overexpression of catalase or both Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase and catalase in mice lacking apolipoprotein E.

abstract：:We previously observed that stimulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation with growth factors is associated with dismantling of cadherin junctions and nuclear translocation of beta-catenin. In this study we demonstrate directly that growth factors stimulate beta-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF) signaling ...
