Smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration contributes to vascular remodeling. Nitric oxide (NO) produced via endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) inhibits SMC migration. This study analyzes signal transduction mechanisms of SMC migration targeted by NO. SMCs were cultured from human saphenous veins, and cell migration was studied using Boyden chambers. PDGF-BB (0.1 to 10 ng/ml) stimulated SMC migration in a...
