In cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells, VIP inhibited arginine vasopressin-stimulated DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent and cell-cycle-dependent way, with a maximum at late G1.
In plain wordsIn cells from rat aorta, VIP reduced vasopressin-driven DNA synthesis as the dose rose, most strongly at late G1 phase.

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), which shows a considerable homology with PACAP, also inhibited dose dependently the AVP-induced DNA synthesis in a cell cycle dependent manner. The maximum inhibition was also observed at the late G1 phase.
