BAHCC1 Drives Smooth Muscle Plasticity and Neointima via Epigenetic Repression.
BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic plasticity drives neointimal hyperplasia (IH) and contributes to atherosclerosis. Epigenetic mechanisms have been implicated in SMC plasticity, but the roles of epigenetic reader proteins are poorly understood. BAHCC1 (bromo adjacent homology domain coiled-coil 1...
