The Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell In Culture

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1981
When smooth muscle from the aortic media of adult pigs, monkeys and rabbits are dispersed into single cells and seeded into primary culture they are in the contractile phenotype and do not undergo cell division when challenged with 5 or 10% whole blood serum.

Leptin and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014
This review concerns the influence of leptin on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). VSMC express different isoforms of the leptin receptor (Ob-R) able to activate a wide range of intracellular signalling pathways, mediating many relevant biological actions.

Vascular smooth muscle cell in atherosclerosis

Acta Physiologica, 2015
AbstractVascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) exhibit phenotypic and functional plasticity in order to respond to vascular injury. In case of the vessel damage, VSMCs are able to switch from the quiescent ‘contractile’ phenotype to the ‘proinflammatory’ phenotype.

MicroRNA and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

2011
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) exhibit extraordinary plasticity during postnatal development. Vascular injury initiates VSMC phenotypic switch from the contractile to proliferative phenotype, which plays a central role in vascular lesion formation and diverse vascular diseases.

Vascular smooth muscle cells

2017
Abstract To understand the function of arteries in the regulation of blood supply throughout the body it is essential to realize that the vessel wall is composed predominantly of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) with only one single layer of luminal endothelial cells.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

2002
Smooth muscle is present in one form or another in most organs, and its contractile activity is vital for normal functioning of the body. To be able to perform the multitude of tasks required of the organs, smooth muscle cells vary widely in their patterns of activity.

Endothelin degradation by vascular smooth muscle cells

Regulatory Peptides, 1996
The mechanism(s) of degradation of the potent vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1) by rat vascular smooth muscle A-10 cells, which possess the ETA receptor subtype, was investigated by incubating [125I]ET-1 (0.1 nM) with cells for 0-4 h at 37 degrees C in the presence and absence of lysosomal enzyme inhibitors, NH4Cl and chloroquine, and a neutral ...

Sodium Cotransport in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Blood Vessels, 2008
Vascular smooth muscle cells possess a number of Na cotransport systems. Three of these cotransport systems, Na/Ca exchange, Na/H exchange and Na-K-Cl cotransport, have been the subject of an increasing number of investigations to determine the respective roles of these transporters in vascular smooth muscle cell function.
