PCSK9 Induces Rat Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Counteracts the Pleiotropic Effects of Simvastatin
Human atherosclerotic plaque contains smooth muscle cells (SMCs) negative for the contractile phenotype (α-smooth muscle actin) but positive for proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Thus, we generated rat SMCs which overexpressed human PCSK9 (SMCs(PCSK9)) with the aim of investigat...
