Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) proliferation plays a critical role in the development and progression of several vasculopathies.Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) is reported to suppress cell proliferation of both tumor and epithelial cells.However, the role of isoform-specific AMPKα in vascular remodeling is unknown.
