Smooth Muscle Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Mediates Hypoxia-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Neonatal Mice

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 is a potent mitogen of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), but its role in pulmonary vascular remodeling associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is not clear. In an earlier study, we implicated IGF-1 in the pathogenesis of hypoxia-induced PH in neonatal mice....
