The heart helps to restore blood vessels
In response to damage to the vessel wall, smooth muscle cells move from a state of "resting phenotype", in which they are only able to contract, to a state of "synthesis phenotype", when they begin to proliferate. The FHL2 protein synthesized by heart cells suppresses the activity of genes necessary for the preservation of smooth muscle cells of blood vessels in a state of "rest".
