The roles and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, intermediate filaments and microtubules in smooth muscle cell migration

Respiratory Research, 2017
Smooth muscle cell migration has been implicated in the development of respiratory and cardiovascular systems; and airway/vascular remodeling. Cell migration is a polarized cellular process involving a protrusive cell front and a retracting trailing rear.

Smooth Muscle Cell [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2006
See related article, pages 472–479 The concept that the atheromatous plaque undergoes a complex inflammatory and fibroproliferative process, which is likely responsible for the onset of complications,1 and the notion of vulnerable plaque2 have acquired wide acceptance during the last years.

Mechanisms altering airway smooth muscle cell Ca(2+) homeostasis in two asthma models [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, altered mucus production and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) contraction causing extensive airway narrowing. In particular, alterations of ASMC contractility seem to be of crucial importance. The

Endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles alter vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype through high-mobility group box proteins

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2020
The vascular endothelium and smooth muscle form adjacent cellular layers that comprise part of the vascular wall. Each cell type can regulate the other’s structure and function through a variety of paracrine effectors.

Endothelial cell impact on smooth muscle cell properties: role of hemodynamic forces [PDF]

, 2009
The vascular endothelium is a dynamic cell monolayer located at the interface of the vessel wall and bloodstream, where it regulates the physiological effects of humoral and hemodynamic stimuli on vessel tone and remodelling.

TCF7L1 Accelerates Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching and Aggravates Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2023
Summary: Phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells is a central process in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) pathology. We found that knockdown TCF7L1 (transcription factor 7-like 1), a member of the TCF/LEF (T cell factor/lymphoid enhancer ...

Regional blood flow in the normal and ischemic brain is controlled by arteriolar smooth muscle cell contractility and not by capillary pericytes

Neuron, 2015
Summary The precise regulation of cerebral blood flow is critical for normal brain function and its disruption underlies many neuropathologies. The extent to which smooth muscle-covered arterioles or pericyte-covered capillaries control vasomotion during

Smooth muscle cells and vascular diseases [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2012
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the stromal cells of the vascular wall, and, due to their myosin/actin interactions, they are also responsible for arterial contractile tonus and regulating blood pressure and flow in relation to specific metabolic demands.

Cell Autonomous and Non-cell Autonomous Regulation of SMC Progenitors in Pulmonary Hypertension

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Pulmonary hypertension is a devastating disease characterized by excessive vascular muscularization. We previously demonstrated primed platelet-derived growth factor receptor β+ (PDGFR-β+)/smooth muscle cell (SMC) marker+ progenitors at the ...
