Cigarette Smoke Extract Stimulates Rat Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation via PKC-PDGFB Signaling
Accumulating evidence suggests a direct role for cigarette smoke in pulmonary vascular remodeling, which contributes to the development of pulmonary hypertension. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potential...
