Activation of α(1A)-adrenergic receptor promotes differentiation of rat-1 fibroblasts to a smooth muscle-like phenotype
BACKGROUND: Fibroblasts, as connective tissue cells, are able to transform into another cell type including smooth muscle cells. α(1A)-adrenergic receptor (α(1A)-AR) stimulation in rat-1 fibroblasts is coupled to cAMP production. However, the significance of an increase in cAMP produced by α(1A)-AR...
