- Signaling pathway, Cellular process
01
Overview
The vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation pathway refers to the complex network of molecular signals and cellular events that regulate the growth and division of VSMCs. This process is central to vascular development, repair, and pathology, especially in conditions such as atherosclerosis, restenosis after angioplasty, hypertension, and vascular remodeling. Key signaling pathways involved include NF-κB p65/miR-17/RB, MAPK/ERK, and PI3K/Akt. Upstream stimuli include endothelial injury and the release of cytokines/growth factors. Excessive activation of this pathway contributes to diseases like atherosclerosis and restenosis, making it a therapeutic target.
