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.

Effect of Caspase Inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO on Apoptosis of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Induced by Artesunate

AIMS Bioengineering, 2014
Numerous studies have shown that the proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells play a key role in restenosis. Artesunate is a triterpenoid with a peroxide structure and its antimalarial, antitumor, and antiangiogenetic activities can ...

Notch2 and Notch3 function together to regulate vascular smooth muscle development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Notch signaling has been implicated in the regulation of smooth muscle differentiation, but the precise role of Notch receptors is ill defined. Although Notch3 receptor expression is high in smooth muscle, Notch3 mutant mice are viable and display only ...

Identification and Initial Functional Characterization of a Human Vascular Cell-Enriched Long Noncoding RNA [PDF]

, 2014
OBJECTIVE: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a rapidly growing class of RNA genes with functions related primarily to transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of gene expression. There is a paucity of information about lncRNA expression and

CADASIL: A monogenic condition causing stroke and subcortical vascular dementia [PDF]

, 2002
Mutations in Notch3 are the cause of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), an inherited small vessel disease leading to subcortical strokes and vascular dementia. The phenotypic presentation

Quantitative Analysis of Intracellular Ca2+ Release and Contraction in hiPSC-Derived Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Stem Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) are highly heterogeneous across different vascular beds. This is partly dictated by their developmental origin but also their position in the vascular tree, reflected in their differential responses to ...

Role of noncoding RNA in vascular remodelling [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose of review: Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are becoming fundamentally important in the pathophysiology relating to injury-induced vascular remodelling.

Redox signaling, Nox5 and vascular remodeling in hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
Purpose of review: Extensive data indicate a role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox signaling in vascular damage in hypertension. However, molecular mechanisms underlying these processes remain unclear, but oxidative post-translational ...
