Abstract

Vascular expansive remodeling is involved in atherosclerosis/restenosis; however, its mechanisms need further investigation. Protein-disulfide isomerase (PDIA1), a redox chaperone from the endoplasmic reticulum and cell surface, supports vascular smooth muscle mechanoadaptation. Vascular injury repair reportedly associates with marked PDIA1 overexpression, while PDIA1 inhibition limits expansive r…
