iPLA2β overexpression in smooth muscle exacerbates angiotensin II-induced hypertension and vascular remodeling.

iPLA2β overexpression in smooth muscle exacerbates angiotensin II-induced hypertension and vascular remodeling.

Calcium independent group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)β) is up-regulated in vascular smooth muscle cells in some diseases, but whether the up-regulated iPLA(2)β affects vascular morphology and blood pressure is unknown. The current study addresses this question by evaluating the basal- and angiot...
