1 Furthermore, cilostazol-activated cAMP response element (CRE)-binding protein (CREB), including phosphorylation at Ser133 and its nuclear translocation. Cilostazol cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
2 Deletion and mutational analysis of the contractile protein promoters along with chromatin immunoprecipitation using anti-CREB antibody showed that CRE is essential for cilostazol-induced contractile protein expression. Cilostazol cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
3 Transfection of dominant-negative CREB (mutated Ser133) plasmid in VSMCs blocked cilostazol-stimulated contractile protein expression. Cilostazol cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
4 In vivo, cilostazol upregulated contractile proteins and induced the activation of CREB in the neointima of balloon-injured arteries. Cilostazol cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: Cilostazol promotes VSMC differentiation through the cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling cascade. Cilostazol cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
