This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We report here that calcium-independent phospholipase A2¿ (iPLA2¿) plays a critical role in high glucose-induced RhoA/Rho-kinase/CPI-17 activation and diabetes-associated vascular smooth muscle hypercontractility.
