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).

Smooth muscle cells and vascular diseases [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2012
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the stromal cells of the vascular wall, and, due to their myosin/actin interactions, they are also responsible for arterial contractile tonus and regulating blood pressure and flow in relation to specific metabolic demands.

Mebendazole reduces vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and neointimal formation following vascular injury in mice.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mebendazole is an antihelminthic drug that exerts its effects via interference with microtubule function in parasites. To determine the utility of mebendazole as a potential treatment for vascular diseases involving proliferation of vascular smooth ...

Lack of α8 integrin leads to morphological changes in renal mesangial cells, but not in vascular smooth muscle cells

BMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background Extracellular matrix receptors of the integrin family are known to regulate cell adhesion, shape and functions. The α8 integrin chain is expressed in glomerular mesangial cells and in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles alter vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype through high-mobility group box proteins

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2020
The vascular endothelium and smooth muscle form adjacent cellular layers that comprise part of the vascular wall. Each cell type can regulate the other’s structure and function through a variety of paracrine effectors.

Gasdermin D affects aortic vascular smooth muscle cell pyroptosis and Ang II-induced vascular remodeling

Heliyon, 2023
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are primarily responsible for vasoconstriction and the regulation of blood pressure1. Pyroptosis, a particular form of regulated cell death, is involved in multiple vascular injuries, including hypertensive vascular ...

Highly effective non-viral gene transfer into vascular smooth muscle cells of cultured resistance arteries demonstrated by genetic inhibition of sphingosine-1-phosphate-induced vasoconstriction [PDF]

, 2003
The linkage of vascular genes to specific functions will lead to a better understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology. We developed an experimental model that enables the introduction of one or multiple gene(s) into vascular smooth muscle cells ...

Smooth muscle cells largely develop independently of functional hemogenic endothelium

Stem Cell Research, 2014
Vascular smooth muscle cells represent a major component of the cardiovascular system. In vitro studies have shown that FLK1+ cells derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into both endothelial and smooth muscle cells.

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.

Integrase-deficient lentiviral vectors mediate efficient gene transfer to human vascular smooth muscle cells with minimal genotoxic risk [PDF]

, 2012
We have previously shown that injury-induced neointima formation was rescued by adenoviral-Nogo-B gene delivery. Integrase-competent lentiviral vectors (ICLV) are efficient at gene delivery to vascular cells but present a risk of insertional mutagenesis.
