Vascular Smooth Muscle Remodeling in Conductive and Resistance Arteries in Hypertension.

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2018
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide and accounts for >17.3 million deaths per year, with an estimated increase in incidence to 23.6 million by 2030. 1 Cardiovascular death represents 31% of all global deaths 2 -with stroke, heart

Identification and Initial Functional Characterization of a Human Vascular Cell-Enriched Long Noncoding RNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Endothelial–Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Interactions in Atherosclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018
Atherosclerosis is a chronic progressive inflammatory process that can eventually lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite available treatment, the prevalence of atherosclerotic CVD, which has become the leading cause of death worldwide, persists ...

MicroRNAs in pulmonary arterial remodeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Pulmonary arterial remodeling is a presently irreversible pathologic hallmark of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This complex disease involves pathogenic dysregulation of all cell types within the small pulmonary arteries contributing to vascular ...

Promoters to Study Vascular Smooth Muscle: Mistaken Identity?

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2019
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are a critical component of blood vessel walls that provide structural support, regulate vascular tone, and allow for vascular remodeling. These cells also exhibit a remarkable plasticity that contributes to vascular growth and

Maintenance of GLUT4 expression in smooth muscle prevents hypertension‐induced changes in vascular reactivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Previous studies have shown that expression of GLUT4 is decreased in arterial smooth muscle of hypertensive rats and mice and that total body overexpression of GLUT4 in mice prevents enhanced arterial reactivity in hypertension.

Camphorated p-chlorophenol-induced contractile dynamics in aortic rings of Wistar rats

open access: yesRevista Información Científica, 2021
Introduction: camphorated p-chlorophenol is a chlorophenolic derivative commonly used as an intra-oral medication in endodontics. Scientific reports on its effects in arterial vascular smooth muscle and local blood flow regulation are scarce. Objective:

Caveolin-3 promotes a vascular smooth muscle contractile phenotype

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the importance of cardiovascular diseases in Western countries. Among the cell types associated with a dysfunctional vasculature, smooth muscle cells are believed to play an essential role in the development of ...

Transdifferentiated Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells are a New Potential Cell Source for Endothelial Regeneration

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Endothelial dysfunction is widely implicated in cardiovascular pathological changes and development of vascular disease. In view of the fact that the spontaneous endothelial cell (EC) regeneration is a slow and insufficient process, it is of great ...
