α-Smooth Muscle Actin and ACTA2 Gene Expressions in Vasculopathies

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
α-smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2 gene, is an isoform of the vascular smooth muscle actins, typically expressed in the vascular smooth muscle cells contributing to vascular motility and contraction. ACTA2 gene mutations cause a diversity of diffuse

Previously differentiated medial vascular smooth muscle cells contribute to neointima formation following vascular injury [PDF]

, 2014
Background The origins of neointimal smooth muscle cells that arise following vascular injury remains controversial. Studies have suggested that these cells may arise from previously differentiated medial vascular smooth muscle cells, resident stem ...

Dietary salt initiates redox signaling between endothelium and vascular smooth muscle through NADPH oxidase 4

Redox Biology, 2022
Prevention of phenotype switching of vascular smooth muscle cells is an important determinant of normal vascular physiology. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) promotes osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells through expression of Runt related ...

Redox signaling, Nox5 and vascular remodeling in hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
Purpose of review: Extensive data indicate a role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox signaling in vascular damage in hypertension. However, molecular mechanisms underlying these processes remain unclear, but oxidative post-translational ...

Assessment of a novel, capsid-modified adenovirus with an improved vascular gene transfer profile [PDF]

, 2013
<p>Background: Cardiovascular disorders, including coronary artery bypass graft failure and in-stent restenosis remain significant opportunities for the advancement of novel therapeutics that target neointimal hyperplasia, a characteristic of both ...

Role of noncoding RNA in vascular remodelling [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose of review: Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are becoming fundamentally important in the pathophysiology relating to injury-induced vascular remodelling.

Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]

, 2007
This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.

Mebendazole reduces vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and neointimal formation following vascular injury in mice.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mebendazole is an antihelminthic drug that exerts its effects via interference with microtubule function in parasites. To determine the utility of mebendazole as a potential treatment for vascular diseases involving proliferation of vascular smooth ...

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

Lack of α8 integrin leads to morphological changes in renal mesangial cells, but not in vascular smooth muscle cells

BMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background Extracellular matrix receptors of the integrin family are known to regulate cell adhesion, shape and functions. The α8 integrin chain is expressed in glomerular mesangial cells and in vascular smooth muscle cells.
