Low expression levels of Cav-1 were observed in restenotic plaques, although restenotic plaques in general have a fibrous phenotype with high smooth muscle cell content.

Our observation of increased SOD-2 along with reduced smooth muscle cell content in ApoE+/−-TLR2+/+ mice fed a high fat diet and injected with P. g agrees well with a recent report in which SOD-2 deficient smooth muscle cells can exhibit a hypertrophic and hyperplastic phenotype.
