Expression of myocardin-related transcription factor (MRTF)-A, a Rho signaling-responsive co-activator of serum response factor (SRF), was found to be increased in injured arteries and to be involved in the increase in proliferation and migration capacity in undifferentiated, activated vascular smooth muscle cells. Moreover, the MRTF-A inhibitor CCG1423 significantly reduced neointima formation following vascular injury in mice. MRTF-A could thus be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of vascular diseases.
