Why the study?
Does overexpression of HCMV immediate-early proteins inhibit p53-mediated apoptosis in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells?
Does overexpression of HCMV immediate-early proteins inhibit p53-mediated apoptosis in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells?
The HCMV IE2-84 protein antagonizes p53-mediated apoptosis in coronary artery smooth muscle cells, suggesting a potential mechanism by which HCMV infection may contribute to restenosis and atherosclerosis.

Hypothesis-generating for HCMV in restenosis; leaves open relevance to human disease pending further study.
Tanaka et al. (1999) studied this question.
