Vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation – 2010 [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Research, 2010
Vascular smooth muscle cells have attracted considerable interest as a model for a flexible program of gene expression. This cell type arises throughout the embryo body plan via poorly understood signaling cascades that direct the expression of transcription factors and microRNAs which, in turn, orchestrate the activation of contractile genes ...

Previously differentiated medial vascular smooth muscle cells contribute to neointima formation following vascular injury [PDF]

, 2014
Background The origins of neointimal smooth muscle cells that arise following vascular injury remains controversial. Studies have suggested that these cells may arise from previously differentiated medial vascular smooth muscle cells, resident stem ...

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.

Proliferation and apoptosis of smooth muscle and endothelial cells with immune inflammation in cerebrovascular diseases on atherosclerosis background [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2022
The aim – to determine the role of vascular wall cells proliferation and apoptosis with the participation of immune inflammation, and their impact on the development of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) development on the atherosclerosis (AS) background ...

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

, 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.

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 ...

Gastrodin attenuates angiotensin II-induced vascular contraction and MLCK/p-MLC2 pathway activation

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2023
Context Gastrodin has been used as antihypertension therapy in China; however, the mechanisms underlying the effects of gastrodin have yet to be fully elucidated.Objective To explore the therapeutic efficiency of gastrodin as an antihypertensive and ...

α-Smooth Muscle Actin and ACTA2 Gene Expressions in Vasculopathies

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
α-smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2 gene, is an isoform of the vascular smooth muscle actins, typically expressed in the vascular smooth muscle cells contributing to vascular motility and contraction. ACTA2 gene mutations cause a diversity of diffuse

Endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles alter vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype through high-mobility group box proteins

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2020
The vascular endothelium and smooth muscle form adjacent cellular layers that comprise part of the vascular wall. Each cell type can regulate the other’s structure and function through a variety of paracrine effectors.

Human tribbles-1 controls proliferation and chemotaxis of smooth muscle cells via MAPK signaling pathways [PDF]

, 2007
Migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells are key to a number of physiological and pathological processes, including wound healing and the narrowing of the vessel wall.Previous work has shown links between inflammatory stimuli and vascular ...
