Connexin 43 is Localized in Gizzard Smooth Muscle Cells during Chicken Development

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2022
Smooth muscle cells are widely distributed in the digestive organs of chickens. They exist as single cells, but adhere to each other to function synchronously.

Role of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching and Calcification in Aortic Aneurysm Formation.

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2019
Aortic aneurysm is a vascular disease whereby the ECM (extracellular matrix) of a blood vessel degenerates, leading to dilation and eventually vessel wall rupture.

Cyclic Mechanical Stretch Induced Smooth Muscle Cell Changes in Cerebral Aneurysm Progress by Reducing Collagen Type IV and Collagen Type VI Levels

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Cerebral aneurysm growth is characterized by continuous structural weakness of local smooth muscle cells, though the mechanism 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 ...

A heparin–rosuvastatin-loaded P(LLA-CL) nanofiber-covered stent inhibits inflammatory smooth-muscle cell viability to reduce in-stent stenosis and thrombosis

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2021
Background An endovascular covered-stent has unique advantages in treating complex intracranial aneurysms; however, in-stent stenosis and late thrombosis have become the main factors affecting the efficacy of covered-stent treatment.

Vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis:Time for a reassessment.

Cardiovascular Research, 2021
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key participants in both early and late-stage atherosclerosis. VSMCs invade the early atherosclerotic lesion from the media, expanding lesions, but also forming a protective fibrous cap rich in extracellular ...

Caveolin-3 promotes a vascular smooth muscle contractile phenotype

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the importance of cardiovascular diseases in Western countries. Among the cell types associated with a dysfunctional vasculature, smooth muscle cells are believed to play an essential role in the development of ...

Hyaluronan Receptor LYVE‐1‐Expressing Macrophages Maintain Arterial Tone through Hyaluronan‐Mediated Regulation of Smooth Muscle Cell Collagen

Immunity, 2018
SUMMARY The maintenance of appropriate arterial tone is critically important for normal physiological arterial function. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms remain poorly defined.

Smooth Muscle Cell Plasticity [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2013
More than 50 years ago, smooth muscle cells (SMC) of the carotid artery were shown to undergo "de-differentiation" upon ligation injury. 1 Since this classic study, scores of research groups have used a variety of in vivo and in vitro model systems as well as numerous clinical studies to demonstrate the conversion of normally contractile vascular SMC

Notch signaling pathway in human vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation [PDF]

, 2006
Notch receptor-ligand interactions are a highly conserved mechanism, originally described in developmental studies using Drosophilae, that regulate inter-cell communication and dictate, in part, vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) fate in response to ...
