Calcium Signaling in Smooth Muscle [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2011
Changes in intracellular Ca(2+) are central to the function of smooth muscle, which lines the walls of all hollow organs. These changes take a variety of forms, from sustained, cell-wide increases to temporally varying, localized changes. The nature of the Ca(2+) signal is a reflection of the source of Ca(2+) (extracellular or intracellular) and the ...

Masson Trichrome Stain Helps Differentiate Myofibroma from Smooth Muscle Lesions in the Head and Neck Region

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2008
Myofibromas are well described in the head and neck region, but differentiating them from smooth muscle lesions is still difficult using smooth muscle immunohistochemical stains.

Orai store-operated Ca2+ entry channels modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility

Channels
In the European Union, urinary incontinence (UI) affects 45% of adults during their lifetime, representing a major clinical and socio-economic burden. Failure of urethral smooth muscle (USM) to contract normally (hypo or hypercontractility) contributes ...

Acquired smooth muscle hamartoma: A case report on the lower extremity with hidrosis

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2019
Smooth muscle hamartomas are benign dermal proliferations of smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle hamartomas are sub-divided into congenital or acquired; the latter is a rare entity with less than 20 cases being reported in the English literature.

Generation of myogenic progenitor cell-derived smooth muscle cells for sphincter regeneration

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020
Background Degeneration of smooth muscles in sphincters can cause debilitating diseases such as fecal incontinence. Skeletal muscle-derived cells have been effectively used in clinics for the regeneration of the skeletal muscle sphincters, such as the ...

A Case of Massive Broad Ligament Leiomyoma Imitating an Ovarian Tumour [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Leiomyomas are the most common benign tumours of female reproductive system which occur in women of child- bearing ages. Large fibroids are known to arise from uterus, but rarely from broad ligament.

ANO1 channels are expressed in mouse urethral smooth muscle but do not contribute to agonist or neurally evoked contractions

Scientific Reports
Anoctamin-1 Ca2+-activated Cl− channels (ANO1) are proposed to modulate contractility of urethra smooth muscle cells (USMC), but their cellular expression and contribution to agonist/neural evoked activity is unclear.

Transcription factor GATA6 promotes migration of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells in vitro

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Vascular smooth muscle cell plasticity plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of vascular diseases. Despite compelling evidence demonstrating the importance of transcription factor GATA6 in vascular smooth muscle, the functional role of GATA6 ...

Chloride in smooth muscle

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2000
Interest in the functions of intracellular chloride expanded about twenty years ago but mostly this referred to tissues other than smooth muscle. On the other hand, accumulation of chloride above equilibrium seems to have been recognised more readily in smooth muscle.
