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.

Vascular smooth muscle caldesmon.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1986 Caldesmon, a major actin- and calmodulin-binding protein, has been identified in diverse bovine tissues, including smooth and striated muscles and various nonmuscle tissues, by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of tissue homogenates and immunoblotting using rabbit anti-chicken gizzard caldesmon.

Angiotensin II stimulates NADH and NADPH oxidase activity in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells.
Circulation Research, 1994 The signaling pathways involved in the long-term metabolic effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) in vascular smooth muscle cells are incompletely understood but include the generation of molecules likely to affect oxidase activity.

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.

Smooth muscle cells largely develop independently of functional hemogenic endothelium
Stem Cell Research, 2014 Vascular smooth muscle cells represent a major component of the cardiovascular system. In vitro studies have shown that FLK1+ cells derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into both endothelial and smooth muscle cells.

Angiomyoma: An Unusual Diagnosis of Preauricular Swelling [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018 Angiomyoma is a benign tumour arising from smooth muscle of blood vessel walls. These tumours are usually found in the lower extremities presenting as a painful mass.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Arterial Stiffening: Relevance in Development, Aging, and Disease.
Physiological Reviews, 2017 The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation.

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.

Signaling pathways involved in vascular smooth muscle cell calcification during hyperphosphatemia
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2019 Medial vascular calcification has emerged as a putative key factor contributing to the excessive cardiovascular mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

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
