Background and aims: The aims of the present study were to determine the expression of urotensin II (UII), urotensin-II related peptide (URP) and their receptor (UT) in stable and unstable carotid atherosclerosis, and determine the effects of UII on human aortic smooth muscle cell (SMCs) calcification.Methods and Results: We examined UII, URP and UT protein expression in 88 carotid endarterectomy specimens using immunohistochemistry. Expression of UII, URP and UT was more evident in unstable compared to stable plaques (P |
