Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.

Origin and differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Smad7 Misexpression during Embryonic Angiogenesis Causes Vascular Dilation and Malformations Independently of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies implicate transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) superfamily signaling in vascular development and maintenance. Mice and humans with mutations in TGFβ superfamily signaling pathway genes exhibit a range of vascular ...

Regulation of Pulmonary Vascular Smooth Muscle Contractility in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Implications for Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
There are two primary components that produce pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); aberrant structural changes (smooth muscle cell proliferation, smooth muscle cell hypertrophy, and the deposition of matrix proteins within the media of pulmonary ...
