Lack of α8 integrin leads to morphological changes in renal mesangial cells, but not in vascular smooth muscle cells

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.

Mechanisms of vascular smooth muscle contraction and the basis for pharmacologic treatment of smooth muscle disorders [PDF]

, 2016
The smooth muscle cell directly drives the contraction of the vascular wall and hence regulates the size of the blood vessel lumen. We review here the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which agonists, therapeutics, and diseases ...

Integrin-linked kinase functions as a downstream signal of platelet-derived growth factor to regulate actin polymerization and vascular smooth muscle cell migration

BMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background Vascular smooth muscle cell migration and accumulation in response to growth factors extensively contribute to the development of intimal thickening within the vessel wall.

Galectin-3 Mediates Thrombin-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration is an important step in the progression and development of vulnerable plaques. Thrombin is involved in both physiological and pathological processes of atherosclerosis.

Origin and differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]

The Journal of Physiology, 2015
Abstractimage Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), a major structural component of the vessel wall, not only play a key role in maintaining vascular structure but also perform various functions. During embryogenesis, SMC recruitment from their progenitors is an important step in the formation of the embryonic vascular system.
