Hypothesis-generating for IGFBP-2 regulation in vascular smooth muscle; does not yet inform human cardiovascular therapies.
In porcine vascular smooth muscle cells, PDGF and insulin stimulate the synthesis of IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-4, whereas IGFs promote their post-translational degradation.
Cohick et al. (1995) studied this question.
