Molecular regulation of the expression of leptin by hypoxia in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells

BACKGROUND: Leptin, produced mainly by white adipose tissue, is a hormone that promotes vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and proliferation, a process involved in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Leptin expression in human coronary artery smooth cell (HCASMC) is induced by hypoxia....
