Identification and Initial Functional Characterization of a Human Vascular Cell-Enriched Long Noncoding RNA [PDF]
, 2014 OBJECTIVE: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a rapidly growing class of RNA genes with functions related primarily to transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of gene expression. There is a paucity of information about lncRNA expression and

Proteomic identification of ADAM12 as a regulator for TGF-β1-induced differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells to smooth muscle cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) induces the differentiation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) into smooth muscle cells. Lipid rafts are cholesterol-rich microdomains in cell membranes that reportedly play a key role in

CADASIL: A monogenic condition causing stroke and subcortical vascular dementia [PDF]
, 2002 Mutations in Notch3 are the cause of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), an inherited small vessel disease leading to subcortical strokes and vascular dementia. The phenotypic presentation

Vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation – 2010 [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Research, 2010 Vascular smooth muscle cells have attracted considerable interest as a model for a flexible program of gene expression. This cell type arises throughout the embryo body plan via poorly understood signaling cascades that direct the expression of transcription factors and microRNAs which, in turn, orchestrate the activation of contractile genes ...

In vitro evaluation of bi-layer silk fibroin scaffolds for gastrointestinal tissue engineering [PDF]
, 2014 Silk fibroin scaffolds were investigated for their ability to support attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of human gastrointestinal epithelial and smooth muscle cell lines in order to ascertain their potential for tissue engineering.

Regulation of PDGFRα+ cells and ICC in progesterone-mediated slow colon transit in pregnant mice
HeliyonBackground: Progesterone can inhibit intestinal smooth muscle contraction; however, the specific mechanism remains unclear. Besides smooth muscle cells, smooth muscle has two important mesenchymal cells, namely interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and ...
