EPAC in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are major components of blood vessels. They regulate physiological functions, such as vascular tone and blood flow. Under pathological conditions, VSMCs undergo a remodeling process known as phenotypic switching. During this process, VSMCs lose their contractility and acquire a synthetic phenotype, where they over ...

Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]

, 2012
Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

iPLA2β overexpression in smooth muscle exacerbates angiotensin II-induced hypertension and vascular remodeling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Calcium independent group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)β) is up-regulated in vascular smooth muscle cells in some diseases, but whether the up-regulated iPLA(2)β affects vascular morphology and blood pressure is unknown.

Biochemical Properties of a Bushmaster Snake Venom Serine Proteinase (LV-Ka), and Its Kinin Releasing Activity Evaluated in Rat Mesenteric Arterial Rings

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
A serine proteinase with kallikrein-like activity (LV-Ka) has been purified to homogeneity from bushmaster snake (Lachesis muta muta) venom. Physicochemical studies indicated that LV-Ka is a single chain glycoprotein with a molecular mass (Mr) of 33 kDa ...

Purinergic Signaling During Hyperglycemia in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
The activation of purinergic receptors by nucleotides and/or nucleosides plays an important role in the control of vascular function, including modulation of vascular smooth muscle excitability, and vascular reactivity.

Acute glucose influx-induced mitochondrial hyperpolarization inactivates myosin phosphatase as a novel mechanism of vascular smooth muscle contraction

Cell Death and Disease, 2021
It is well-established that long-term exposure of the vasculature to metabolic disturbances leads to abnormal vascular tone, while the physiological regulation of vascular tone upon acute metabolic challenge remains unknown.

Differentiation of multipotent vascular stem cells contributes to vascular diseases. [PDF]

, 2012
It is generally accepted that the de-differentiation of smooth muscle cells, from the contractile to the proliferative/synthetic phenotype, has an important role during vascular remodelling and diseases.

Human tribbles-1 controls proliferation and chemotaxis of smooth muscle cells via MAPK signaling pathways [PDF]

, 2007
Migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells are key to a number of physiological and pathological processes, including wound healing and the narrowing of the vessel wall.Previous work has shown links between inflammatory stimuli and vascular ...
