Aim: To explore the effect of receptor component protein (RCP) in the signal transduction of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation induced by static pressure. Methods: The mouse-derived vascular smooth muscle cell line (A10VSMC) was employed in the experiment. Cells were exposed to static pressure, and MTT assay was used to detect the cell viability. Western blot was used to determine the expressions of PCNA, RCP and p-Akt, RCP mRNA was tested by RT-PCR, and co-immunoprecipitation was used to test the interaction between RCP and G pr...
