| Research Abstract |
The interactions between extracellular matrix proteins and integrins play pivotal roles in the development of many cardiovascular diseases, including cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) and atherosclerosis. We had two major novel findings as below. 1) Syndecan-4 and alpha9 integrin plays a critical role in the cardiac healing process after MI. 2) Syndecan-4 deficiency limits neointimal formation after vascular injury by regulating vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and vascular progenitor cell mobilization.
