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 ...

The gamma-smooth muscle actin isoform in smooth muscle and smooth muscle-like cells

, 2013
L'actine est non seulement la protéine la plus abondante dans la plupart des cellules eucaryotes mais également une des plus conservées dans l'évolution. Il reste toutefois à ce jour de nombreuses zones d'ombre, en particulier en ce qui concerne le rôle de ses différentes isoformes.

Diabetes‐induced vascular calcification is associated with low pyrophosphate and its oral supplementation prevents calcification in diabetic mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Single-cell sequencing reveals PHLDA1-positive smooth muscle cells promote local invasion in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Translational Oncology
Background: Smooth muscle cells within the tumor microenvironment play a crucial role in cancer progression. However, their involvement in the local invasion of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma remains poorly understood.

MicroRNA26 attenuates vascular smooth muscle maturation via endothelial BMP signalling.

PLoS Genetics, 2019
As small regulatory transcripts, microRNAs (miRs) act as genetic 'fine tuners' of posttranscriptional events, and as genetic switches to promote phenotypic switching. The miR miR26a targets the BMP signalling effector, smad1.

Pathologic bladder microenvironment attenuates smooth muscle differentiation of skin derived precursor cells: implications for tissue regeneration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Smooth muscle cell containing organs (bladder, heart, blood vessels) are damaged by a variety of pathological conditions necessitating surgery or organ replacement.

Calcium‐sensing receptor induces the apoptosis of chondrocytes in cooperation with phosphate transporter

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Excess Ca2+ ions activate the Calcium‐Sensing Receptor (CaSR), which subsequently drives the uptake of excess inorganic phosphate (Pi) via the Pi transporter (Pit−1) in chondrocytes. This mechanism causes a toxic increase in intracellular Pi concentration, ultimately leading to chondrocyte apoptosis and pathological mineralization. Excess extracellular

Implanted Mouse Bone Marrow-Derived Cells Reconstruct Layered Smooth Muscle Structures in Injured Urinary Bladders

Cell Transplantation, 2008
This study is a preliminary investigation to determine if bone marrow-derived cells, when implanted into freeze-injured urinary bladders, differentiate into smooth muscle cells and reconstruct smooth muscle layers.

Gigantic Stomach: A Rare Manifestation of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]

, 2019
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by degeneration and atrophy of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles after a latent period of apparently normal development and function. The gastrointestinal manifestations start in the second decade of

Assessing a Mitochondrial Disease Treatment via a Novel Statistical Technique for Accelerometer Data

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Therapeutic development for mitochondrial diseases, rare genetic disorders with pathogenic defects of oxidative phosphorylation, is hindered by unsatisfactory outcome measures. To address this problem, we provide the first clinical application of a novel, bias‐adjusted outcome measure of acceleration across a range of subjects ...
