Regulation of smooth muscle dystrophin and synaptopodin 2 expression by actin polymerization and vascular injury.

Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol.. 2015 Jun;35(6):1489-97, PMID: 25857312

Actin dynamics in vascular smooth muscle is known to regulate contractile differentiation and may play a role in the pathogenesis of vascular disease. However, the list of genes regulated by actin polymerization in smooth muscle remains incomprehensive. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify actin-regulated genes in smooth muscle and to demonstrate the role of these genes in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle phenotype.
