[The structure of a population of smooth myocytes (aspects of the intraorganic organization of smooth muscle tissue)].

Morfologiia (Saint Petersburg, Russia), 1998
Comparative analysis of smooth muscular tissue of bronchi and of rectal pelvic region was performed using electron microscopic and cytophotometric methods. Smooth myocyte population of organs studied were demonstrated to include three cell types: small, medium and large ones.

Synthesis and Expression of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor by Serum-stimulated Fibroblasts, Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Cardiac Myocytes

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1999
SummaryTissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) plays an important role in regulating tissue factor (TF)-initiated blood coagulation. Since serum stimulation of fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac myocytes in culture increases the expression of TF mRNA and antigen (Ag) in these cells, we hypothesized that serum may also induce increased

Adenovirus-mediated Overexpression of Human Transforming Growth Factor-β1 in Rat Cardiac Fibroblasts, Myocytes and Smooth Muscle Cells

Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 1996
Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is known to regulate cardiac cell function and its overexpression in the heart is thought to contribute to the development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. We wished to develop a high efficiency gene transfer method that could be used both in vitro and in vivo and result in the overexpression of TGF ...

[Myocyte transformation in autologous transplantation of colonic smooth muscle in domestic pigs].

Ceskoslovenska patologie, 1994
Autologous gut smooth muscle graft of two piglets was used for creating a ring in sigmoidostomy. The graft was investigated several times by histology and electron microscopy. A sort of myofibroblasts were observed the 7th day in the smooth muscle.

Hypertension Differentially Affects the Expression of the Gap Junction Protein Connexin43 in Cardiac Myocytes and Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

1997
Electrical and mechanical coupling of myocytes in heart and of smooth muscle cells in the aortic wall is thought to be mediated by intercellular channels aggregated at gap junctions. Connexin43 (Cx43) is one of the predominant membrane proteins forming junctional channels in the cardiovascular system.

Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2A Regulates Hydrogen Peroxide‐Induced Senescence of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Via microRNA‐143

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2015
Myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) is involved in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation, migration, and senescence. MicroRNA‐143/145 (miR‐143/145), which may be regulated by MEF2A, is known to promote cellular senescence. We hypothesized that MEF2A may promote VSMC senescence via miR‐143/145. VSMC senescence was induced by hydrogen peroxide (

Overexpression of human Hsp27 inhibits serum-induced proliferation in airway smooth muscle myocytes and confers resistance to hydrogen peroxide cytotoxicity

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2007
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) hypertrophy and hyperplasia are characteristics of asthma that lead to thickening of the airway wall and obstruction of airflow. Very little is known about mechanisms underlying ASM remodeling, but in vascular smooth muscle, it is known that progression of atherosclerosis depends on the balance of myocyte proliferation and ...

Abstract 1505: Sunitinib-Induced Cardiotoxicity is Mediated in Part via Direct Effects on Cardiac Myocytes and Smooth Muscle Cells

Circulation, 2007
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have revolutionized cancer therapy, spawning over 500 clinical trials, yet cardiotoxicities are emerging. Sunitinib, a multi-targeted TKI, prolongs life in renal cell and gastrointestinal cancer patients, but hypertension and heart failure have required treatment adjustments. Objective:

Leiomyoblastoma of the uterus: an immunohistochemical and electron microscopic study of distinctive tumours with immature smooth muscle cell differentiation mimicking fetal uterine myocytes

Histopathology, 2003
Aims:  We present three distinctive uterine tumours which exhibited immature smooth muscle differentiation mimicking smooth muscle cells of the fetal uterus.Methods and results:  The patients were 45, 46 and 49 years old, and all of them had simple hysterectomies.

Early intracellular signaling events induced by in vitro metreleptin administration in cardiac myocytes and uterine smooth muscle cells.

Cellular and molecular biology (Noisy-le-Grand, France), 2016
Intracellular signaling pathways regulated by leptin have largely been studied in metabolically important organs such as adipose tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, suggesting that leptin plays a key role in pathophysiology of insulin resistance.
