摘要:
We used microarrays to detail transcriptional changes in cultured human smooth muscle cells in response to acute and chronic 2-methoxyestradiol treatment 2-ME, an endogenous metabolite. of estradiol, not only exerts cytotoxic effects on cancer cells but it also protects against multiple proliferative disorders, including atherosclerosis and injury-induced intimal thickening Keywords: treatment vs. control Human aortic smooth muscle cells cultures with/without 2-methoxyestradiol (acute/chronic treatment)
