PP2A regulates SCF-induced cardiac stem cell migration through interaction with p38 MAPK

Previous studies have shown that stem cell factor (SCF) induces the migration of cardiac stem cells (CSCs) and helps to repair myocardial infarctions. Earlier studies on the migration mechanism only focused on the activation of kinases; here, we aimed to explore the functional role of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in SCF-induced CSC migration. CSCs were treated with SCF, PP2A enzymatic activity was measured, the phosphorylation levels of PP2A,...
