Nitric oxide-generating vasodilators and 8-bromo-cyclic guanosine monophosphate inhibit mitogenesis and proliferation of cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 1989
Endothelium-derived relaxing factor has been recently identified as nitric oxide. The purpose of this study was to determine if vasodilator drugs that generate nitric oxide inhibit vascular smooth muscle mitogenesis and proliferation in culture.

Short Chain (≤C4) Esterification Increases Bioavailability of Rosmarinic Acid and Its Potency to Inhibit Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Rosmarinic acid is a natural phenolic acid and active compound found in many culinary plants, such as rosemary, mint, basil and perilla. Aiming to improve the pharmacokinetic profile of rosmarinic acid and its activity on vascular smooth muscle cell ...

A control mechanism for intramural periarterial drainage via astrocytes: How neuronal activity could improve waste clearance from the brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The mechanisms behind waste clearance from deep within the parenchyma of the brain remain unclear to this date. Experimental evidence has shown that one pathway for waste clearance, termed intramural periarterial drainage (IPAD), is the rapid drainage of interstitial fluid (ISF) via basement membranes (BM) of the smooth muscle cells (SMC) of cerebral ...

Ion Channels and Their Regulation in Vascular Smooth Muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Vascular smooth muscle excitability is exquisitely regulated by different ion channels that control membrane potential (Em) and the magnitude of intracellular calcium inside the cell to induce muscle relaxation or contraction, which significantly ...

Segmentation of Anatomical Layers and Artifacts in Intravascular Polarization Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography Using Attending Physician and Boundary Cardinality Losses [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography are widely available for characterizing coronary stenoses and provide critical vessel parameters to optimize percutaneous intervention. Intravascular polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) simultaneously provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of vascular structures

Serotonylation of vascular proteins important to contraction. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) was named for its source (sero-) and ability to modify smooth muscle tone (tonin). The biological effects of 5-HT are believed to be carried out by stimulation of serotonin receptors at the plasma membrane.

Oxysterols in Vascular Cells and Role in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesImplication of Oxysterols and Phytosterols in Aging and Human Diseases, 1440, Springer International Publishing, pp.213-229, 2024, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology
Atherosclerosis is a major cardiovascular complication of diseases associated with elevated oxidative stress such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In these situations, low density lipoproteins (LDL) undergo oxidation. Oxidized LDL display proatherogenic activities through multiple and complex mechanisms which lead to dysfunctions of vascular ...

Uncertainty quantification of a three-dimensional in-stent restenosis model with surrogate modelling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
In-Stent Restenosis is a recurrence of coronary artery narrowing due to vascular injury caused by balloon dilation and stent placement. It may lead to the relapse of angina symptoms or to an acute coronary syndrome. An uncertainty quantification of a model for In-Stent Restenosis with four uncertain parameters (endothelium regeneration time, the ...

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 ...
