Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in the Pathogenesis of Vascular Calcification [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2009 See related article, pages 733–741 Vascular calcification is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In atherosclerotic lesions, calcification is mainly found in the neointima of atheromatous plaques and has been shown to positively correlate with the plaque burden and the risk of myocardial infarction.

Biophysical induction of vascular smooth muscle cell podosomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and matrix degradation occurs with intimal hyperplasia associated with atherosclerosis, vascular injury, and restenosis.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Endothelial dysfunction has been linked to vascular inflammation and foam cell formation but the underlying mechanisms still remain unclear. We sought to define the factors inducing inflammation and smooth muscle foam cell formation under endothelial ...

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation in Restenosis [PDF]
Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2011 Current therapeutic approaches to restore blood flow in stenotic blood vessels involve the use of percutaneous devices and coronary bypass surgery. In all procedures that disrupt the normal integrity of the blood vessels, there is an increased incidence of vessel luminal narrowing, termed restenosis.

Cell Transplantation, 1997 Intimal hyperplasia in blood vessels is primarily caused by the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Excessive intimal thickening characterizes atherosclerosis as well as bypass graft and angioplasty failures.

Resident phenotypically modulated vascular smooth muscle cells in healthy human arteries. [PDF]
, 2012 Vascular interstitial cells (VICs) are non-contractile cells with filopodia previously described in healthy blood vessels of rodents and their function remains unknown.

SRSF1 promotes vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation through a Δ133p53/EGR1/KLF5 pathway
Nature Communications, 2017 The hyperproliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells underlies many vascular diseases. Here Xieet al. show that the splicing factor SRSF1 is an endogenous stimulator of human and mouse aortic smooth muscle cell proliferation via the Δ133p53/EGR1/KLF5 ...

Fibrinogen is chemotactic for vascular smooth muscle cells
FEBS Letters, 1989 We studied the effect of fibrinogen on the migration of bovine aortic smooth muscle cells in culture, using a Neuro Probe 48‐well micro chemotaxis chamber. Fibrinogen stimulated the migration of the cells dose‐dependently at concentrations from 30 to 1OOO μg/ml.
