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.

Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]

, 2012
Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

iPLA2β overexpression in smooth muscle exacerbates angiotensin II-induced hypertension and vascular remodeling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Calcium independent group VIA phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)β) is up-regulated in vascular smooth muscle cells in some diseases, but whether the up-regulated iPLA(2)β affects vascular morphology and blood pressure is unknown.

Cell Autonomous and Non-cell Autonomous Regulation of SMC Progenitors in Pulmonary Hypertension

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Pulmonary hypertension is a devastating disease characterized by excessive vascular muscularization. We previously demonstrated primed platelet-derived growth factor receptor β+ (PDGFR-β+)/smooth muscle cell (SMC) marker+ progenitors at the ...

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 ...

Regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2007
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation is an essential component of vascular development. These cells perform biosynthetic, proliferative, and contractile roles in the vessel wall. VSMCs are not terminally differentiated and are able to modulate their phenotype in response to changing local environmental cues.

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 ...

Fibronectin matrix polymerization regulates smooth muscle cell phenotype through a Rac1 dependent mechanism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Smooth muscle cells are maintained in a differentiated state in the vessel wall, but can be modulated to a synthetic phenotype following injury. Smooth muscle phenotypic modulation is thought to play an important role in the pathology of vascular ...

Characterization of ectonucleotidases on vascular smooth-muscle cells [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1985
We compared the properties of the ectonucleotidases (nucleoside triphosphatase, EC 3.6.1.15; nucleoside diphosphatase, EC 3.6.1.6; 5′-nucleotidase, EC 3.1.3.5) in intact pig aortic smooth-muscle cells in culture with the properties that we previously investigated for ectonucleotidases of aortic endothelial cells [Cusack, Pearson & Gordon (1983 ...
