Cell cycle versus density dependence of smooth muscle alpha actin expression in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells
Cultured smooth muscle cells (SMC) undergo induction of smooth muscle (SM) alpha actin at confluency. Since confluent cells exhibit contact inhibition of growth, this finding suggests that induction of SM alpha actin may be associated with cell cycle withdrawal. This issue was further examined in th...
