α-Smooth Muscle Actin and ACTA2 Gene Expressions in Vasculopathies
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015 α-smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2 gene, is an isoform of the vascular smooth muscle actins, typically expressed in the vascular smooth muscle cells contributing to vascular motility and contraction. ACTA2 gene mutations cause a diversity of diffuse

Redox signaling, Nox5 and vascular remodeling in hypertension [PDF]
, 2015 Purpose of review: Extensive data indicate a role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox signaling in vascular damage in hypertension. However, molecular mechanisms underlying these processes remain unclear, but oxidative post-translational ...

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2016 Decades of work have shown that vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypes are controlled by cues received from the local environment.1–3 When nestled into a cage of cross-linked collagen and elastin of its own making,4 medial SMCs exhibit a fully differentiated phenotype conferred by the transcriptional activity of myocardin and serum response ...

Redox Biology, 2022 Prevention of phenotype switching of vascular smooth muscle cells is an important determinant of normal vascular physiology. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) promotes osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells through expression of Runt related ...

Previously differentiated medial vascular smooth muscle cells contribute to neointima formation following vascular injury [PDF]
, 2014 Background The origins of neointimal smooth muscle cells that arise following vascular injury remains controversial. Studies have suggested that these cells may arise from previously differentiated medial vascular smooth muscle cells, resident stem ...

Smoothelin in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007 Smoothelin-A and -B have only been found in fully differentiated contractile smooth muscle cells. They are increasingly used to monitor the smooth muscle cell differentiation process to a contractile or synthetic phenotype. Vascular-specific smoothelin-B is the first smooth muscle cell marker that disappears when vascular tissues are compromised, for ...

Assessment of a novel, capsid-modified adenovirus with an improved vascular gene transfer profile [PDF]
, 2013 <p>Background: Cardiovascular disorders, including coronary artery bypass graft failure and in-stent restenosis remain significant opportunities for the advancement of novel therapeutics that target neointimal hyperplasia, a characteristic of both ...

Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]
, 2007 This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.

Role of noncoding RNA in vascular remodelling [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose of review: Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are becoming fundamentally important in the pathophysiology relating to injury-induced vascular remodelling.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Updated [PDF]
Circulation Research, 1973 • This brief review of the rapidly developing research on vascular smooth muscle presents the state of the art as I see it from within my own frame of reference. For a more objective, detailed insight into the workings of vascular smooth muscle, several substantial reviews and compendiums may be read (1-7).
