Objectives: Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/proteinkinase A (PKA)/cAMP response element (CRE) binding protein (CREB) signaling cascade negatively regulates platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) induced smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, which is a critical event in the initiation and development of restenosis and atherosclerotic lesions.Salvianolic acid A (SAA) is one of the most abundant polyphenols extracted from salvia.The aim of this study is to investigate whether SAA exerts an action on PDGF-BB-induced proliferation via cAMP/PKA/CREB mochanism.
