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

Scientific 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 ...

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

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

Revista 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

Frontiers 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 ...

Age-Associated Sirtuin 1 Reduction in Vascular Smooth Muscle Links Vascular Senescence and Inflammation to Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

Circulation Research, 2016
RATIONALE Uncontrolled growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is a life-threatening vascular disease without an effective pharmaceutical treatment. AAA incidence dramatically increases with advancing age in men.

Altered vascular smooth muscle function in the ApoE knockout mouse during the progression of atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2014
Objectives: Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) requires re-uptake of cytosolic Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via the Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA), or extrusion via the Plasma Membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) or sodium ...

Effect of Caspase Inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO on Apoptosis of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Induced by Artesunate

AIMS Bioengineering, 2014
Numerous studies have shown that the proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells play a key role in restenosis. Artesunate is a triterpenoid with a peroxide structure and its antimalarial, antitumor, and antiangiogenetic activities can ...

Measurements and System Identification for the Characterization of Smooth Muscle Cell Dynamics [PDF]

2024 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)
Biological tissue integrity is actively maintained by cells. It is essential to comprehend how cells accomplish this in order to stage tissue diseases. However, addressing the complexity of a cell's system of interrelated mechanisms poses a challenge.

Endothelial cells are progenitors of cardiac pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells

Nature Communications, 2016
Mural cells of the vessel wall, namely pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, are essential for vascular integrity. The developmental sources of these cells and molecular mechanisms controlling their progenitors in the heart are only partially ...

Guidance Molecules in Vascular Smooth Muscle

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Several highly conserved families of guidance molecules, including ephrins, Semaphorins, Netrins, and Slits, play conserved and distinct roles in tissue remodeling during tissue patterning and disease pathogenesis.
