Membrane Actions of Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in Cardiac and Smooth Muscle Myocytesa

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1992
Calcitonin gene-related peptide is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide acting as a transmitter of nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerves in the heart. Binding sites of high affinity have been reported in coronary arteries, in atria, and, of minor density, in ventricular myocardium.

The mevalonate cascade as a target to suppress extracellular matrix synthesis by human airway smooth muscle.

American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 2011
Smooth muscle cells promote fibroproliferative airway remodeling in asthma, and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) is a key inductive signal. Statins are widely used to treat hyperlipidemia. Growing evidence indicates they also exert a positive impact

Effect of antigenic exposure on airway smooth muscle remodeling in an equine model of chronic asthma.

American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 2011
Recent studies suggest that airway smooth muscle remodeling is an early event in asthma, but whether it remains a dynamic process late in the course of the disease is unknown.

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 (

[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.

[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.

Calcium phosphate coprecipitation greatly enhances transduction of cardiac myocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells by lentivirus vectors.

Experimental and clinical cardiology, 2011
Lentivirus vectors provide a delivery system that can both transduce nondividing cells and integrate transgenes into the genome of target cells without cytotoxicity. However, their relatively low transduction efficiency presents a significant obstacle to progress.In the present paper, a simple and easy method using calcium phosphate (CaPi) to enhance ...
