Elucidates Gi-dependent mechanism for Angiopeptin in SMC migration; leaves open in vivo efficacy against intimal hyperplasia.
Angiopeptin inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration in vitro via a Gi-dependent pathway involving inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and cAMP accumulation, providing a mechanism for its prevention of intimal hyperplasia after balloon angioplasty.
Mooradian et al. (1995) studied this question.
