Calcium and Vascular Smooth Muscle Contraction [PDF]
Circulation Research, 1971 Radioactive calcium flux in rabbit aorta was studied to evaluate factors regulating the movement of calcium into and out of the cell. Calcium content was estimated both from (1) the amount of 45 Ca present in the tissue and the specific activity of Ca in the bathing medium, and (2) determination of chemical calcium ...

A quantitative model for refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum during vascular smooth muscle asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations [PDF]
Cell Calcium 42, 565-75 (2007), 2006 We have developed a quantitative model for the creation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ gradients near the inner surface of the plasma membrane (PM). In particular we simulated the refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via PM-SR junctions during asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations in smooth muscle cells of the rabbit inferior vena cava.

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 ...

A model for the generation of localized transient Na+ elevations in vascular smooth muscle [PDF]
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 389, 461-465 (2009), 2009 We present a stochastic computational model to study the mechanism of signalling between a source and a target ionic transporter, both localized on the plasma membrane (PM) and in intracellular nanometre-scale subplasmalemmal signalling compartments comprising the PM, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), Ca2+ and Na+ transporters, and the intervening ...

Vascular smooth muscle caldesmon.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1986 Caldesmon, a major actin- and calmodulin-binding protein, has been identified in diverse bovine tissues, including smooth and striated muscles and various nonmuscle tissues, by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of tissue homogenates and immunoblotting using rabbit anti-chicken gizzard caldesmon.

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.

Angiomyoma: An Unusual Diagnosis of Preauricular Swelling [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018 Angiomyoma is a benign tumour arising from smooth muscle of blood vessel walls. These tumours are usually found in the lower extremities presenting as a painful mass.
