Intermittent hypoxia‐induced epiregulin expression by IL‐6 production in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) experience repetitive episodes of desaturation and resaturation of blood oxygen (known as intermittent hypoxia or IH), during sleep. We showed previously that IH induced excessive proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells through upregulation of me...
