General description

PCASMC were used to investigate the role of c-Jun in smooth muscle proliferation, and to show that c-Jun inhibition abrogates smooth muscle cell growth and intimal thickening after arterial injury (Khachigian, 2002). PCASMC were also used to develop poly (l-lactide-co-caprolactone) nanofibrous scaffold material with potential for tissue engineering (Dong, 2008).

Characterization: positive for smooth muscle cell specific alpha-actin expression.
