Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

Highly effective non-viral gene transfer into vascular smooth muscle cells of cultured resistance arteries demonstrated by genetic inhibition of sphingosine-1-phosphate-induced vasoconstriction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The linkage of vascular genes to specific functions will lead to a better understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology. We developed an experimental model that enables the introduction of one or multiple gene(s) into vascular smooth muscle cells ...

Notch signaling pathway in human vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Notch receptor-ligand interactions are a highly conserved mechanism, originally described in developmental studies using Drosophilae, that regulate inter-cell communication and dictate, in part, vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) fate in response to ...

Vascular smooth muscle cell senescence in atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2006
Markers of cell senescence have been identified in both the blood and vessel wall of patients with atherosclerosis. In particular, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from human plaques show numerous features of senescence both in culture and in vivo.

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

open access: yesStem 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 ...

Replication of smooth muscle cells in vascular disease. [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 1986
Smooth muscle proliferation has been recognized as central to the pathology of both major forms of vascular disease: atherosclerosis and hypertension. Recent advances in our knowledge of mechanisms of control of proliferation suggest that events occurring in adult animals may recapitulate portions of the developmental biology of the smooth muscle cell.

Vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation – 2010 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Cell cultures of human ciliary muscle: growth, ultrastructural and immunocytochemical characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Primary ciliary muscle cell cultures derived from human donors (16-91 years) were established and characterized by comparing them with ciliary muscle in tissue sections using immunocytochemical and ultrastructural methods.

Quantification of alignment of vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]

open access: yesCytometry Part A, 2018
AbstractVascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are essential components that keep the tonus of the arterial network, which is the channel used to conduct the blood from the heart to the peripheral areas of the body. It is known that mechanical and architectural changes in VSMCs may lead to functional modifications in the cardiovascular system; therefore,

Mebendazole reduces vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and neointimal formation following vascular injury in mice.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Mebendazole is an antihelminthic drug that exerts its effects via interference with microtubule function in parasites. To determine the utility of mebendazole as a potential treatment for vascular diseases involving proliferation of vascular smooth ...
