Smooth muscle cells and atherosclerosis
Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1995The role of smooth muscle cells in atherogenesis involves cell proliferation and accretion of cholesteryl ester. Smooth muscle cell proliferation, controlled by growth factors produced locally, contributes to progression of atheroma and to restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Isolated Smooth Muscle Cells Preparation
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1986Detached smooth muscle cells from rat gastric antrum were isolated by incubation with collagenase and examined for viability and motility. Each stomach yielded about 10(7) muscle cells and were judged as intact and viable by the trypan blue dye exclusion.

Smooth muscle cell growth factors
Progress in Growth Factor Research, 1991While the roles of the platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) continue to be elucidated, these cells, especially in their activated 'synthetic' state, have also been found to express, and proliferate in response to, many of the other families of polypeptide growth factors, such as the fibroblast growth factors ...

Surgery, 2004
Although de-endothelialization after vascular intervention is associated with intimal hyperplasia, endothelial cells (ECs) increase smooth muscle cell (SMC) numbers in conventional cocultures. In previously published work, SMCs cocultured with ECs in a chronic high-pressure environment exhibited significantly decreased cell counts compared to ...

Smooth Musculature. Smooth Muscle Cells
1985This three-dimensional figure illustrates the plane of contact between the longitudinally and circularly coursing muscle layers of the tunica muscularis of the intestine. In addition to the nuclei (1) and endoplasm (2) with its organelles, the muscle cells can be seen to contain longitudinally oriented microfilaments (3), dense bodies (4), a peripheral

Smooth Muscle Cell and Atherosclerosis
1975There now is general agreement that the principal feature of the lesions of atherosclerosis is the proliferation of smooth muscle cells within the intima of the artery wall [1]. This intimal smooth muscle proliferative response is associated with formation of relatively large amounts of connective tissue matrix constituents, including collagen, elastic

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2007
Development of in vitro models of native and injured vasculature is crucial for better understanding altered wound healing in disease, device implantation, or tissue engineering. Conditions were optimized using polyethyleneteraphalate transwell filters for human aortic endothelial cell (HAEC)/smooth muscle cell (HASMC) co-cultures with divergent HASMC ...

Cell Membrane of Uterine Smooth Muscle
Nature, 1968WE wished to isolate the cell membranes of the smooth muscle of the uterus for investigation of the sialic acid components (see following communication) and have therefore applied the method of Rosenthal, Edelman and Schwartz1, which is a modification of McCollester's method for emptying broken skeletal muscle cells2. The uterine muscle cells are small,

Leptin and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014This review concerns the influence of leptin on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). VSMC express different isoforms of the leptin receptor (Ob-R) able to activate a wide range of intracellular signalling pathways, mediating many relevant biological actions.

Airway smooth muscle (ASM) cell complexity is becoming increasingly apparent. Initially considered to be merely a contractile element, it is now known that smooth muscle cells actively regulate their function and microenvironment by producing a range of cytokines and low molecular weight products in addition to extracellular matrix.
