“…Wnt signaling promotes VSMC survival,20 whereas silencing Wnt signaling reduces cell proliferation 21. Along with cellular proliferation, some data suggested that Wnt signaling may play a role in the VSMC migration during intimal thickening,2, 22 motility,23 and osteogenesis 24. Moreover, a recent study has demonstrated a role for Wnt5a in cholesterol efflux by VSMCs 25…”
