Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell [PDF]

, 2018
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the stromal cells of the vascular wall and are responsible for regulating arterial tone, blood pressure, and blood supply of the tissues.

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 ...

Vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis [PDF]

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2019
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a major cell type present at all stages of an atherosclerotic plaque. According to the 'response to injury' and 'vulnerable plaque' hypotheses, contractile VSMCs recruited from the media undergo phenotypic conversion to proliferative synthetic cells that generate extracellular matrix to form the fibrous cap and ...

Mechanisms of vascular smooth muscle contraction and the basis for pharmacologic treatment of smooth muscle disorders [PDF]

, 2016
The smooth muscle cell directly drives the contraction of the vascular wall and hence regulates the size of the blood vessel lumen. We review here the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which agonists, therapeutics, and diseases ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Vascular smooth muscle Sirtuin-1 protects against aortic dissection during Angiotensin II-induced hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Sirtuin-1 (SirT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent deacetylase, is a key enzyme in the cellular response to metabolic, inflammatory, and oxidative stresses; however, the role of endogenous SirT1 in the vasculature has not ...

Role of smooth muscle progenitor cells in vascular mechanical injury and repair

Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2022
Smooth muscle progenitor cells are precursor cells that express both smooth muscle cell and stem cell markers, and can differentiate into smooth muscle cells under specific condition.

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).
