Abstract:
Inflammation is a critical contributing factor to the development and the progression of atherosclerosis. Recently, the acute-phase protein pentraxin-3 (PTX3), which has C-terminal sequence homology with the classic pentraxin C-reactive protein (CRP), was described to be increased in patients with myocardial infarction. In this study, we have investigated the capacity of human primary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), derived from arterial specimens of ten different patients, to express PTX3...     »
