Phytanic acid activates NADPH oxidase through transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor in vascular smooth muscle cells
2016
Background
Phytanic acid (PA) has been implicated in development of cancer and its defective metabolism is known to cause life-threatening conditions, such as Refsum disease, in children. To explore molecular mechanisms of phytanic acid-induced cellular pathology, we investigated its effect on NADPH oxidase (NOX) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMC).
