Sildenafil Inhibits Human Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation by Decreasing Capacitative Ca2+ Entry
Ca2+ is a pivotal signal in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) proliferation. Capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) via the store-operated channel (SOC), which encoded by the transient receptor potential (TRP) gene, is an important mechanism for regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentration (...
