Is gATA-6 involved in PPARgamma-mediated activation of differentiated phenotype in human vascular smooth muscle cells?
The activation of PPARgamma-dependent pathways induces the differentiated phenotype in proliferative VSMCs, and this induction is mediated, in part, through a GATA-6-dependent transcriptional mechanism.
This study provides preliminary support for the TM after assault injuries. The TM index may be a first step toward an assessment that can differentiate individuals who are amenable to violence prevention intervention from those who are not.
