Angiotensin II-mediated vascular smooth muscle cell growth signaling.
The mechanism by which Ang II stimulates the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells was investigated by measuring the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK 1 and ERK 2. Ca2+ ionophore was found to have effects practically analogous to Ang II. We found that the signaling pathway involves the activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase, activation of the adapto...
متن کاملEffect of azelnidipine on angiotensin II-mediated growth-promoting signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells.
The detailed mechanism of the effects of extracellular Ca2+ entry blockade on angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 (AT1) receptor-mediated growth-promoting signals in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is not fully understood. Ang II stimulation caused biphasic activation of growth-promoting signals, reaching a peak at 5 to 10 min followed by a decrease and a second peak at around 2 to 4 h. Additio...
متن کاملThe effect of adrenomedullin and proadrenomedullin N- terminal 20 peptide on angiotensin II induced vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation
Objective(s): The study aimed to investigate the effects of adrenomedullin (ADM) and proadrenomedullin N- terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) on angiotensin II (AngII)-stimulated proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Materials and Methods: Thoracic aorta was obtained from Wistar rats and VSMCs were isolated from aorta tissues and then cultured. In vitro cultured VSMCs were stimulated w...
متن کاملAngiotensin II signaling in vascular smooth muscle. New concepts.
Angiotensin II is a multifunctional hormone that affects both contraction and growth of vascular smooth muscle cells through a complex series of intracellular signaling events initiated by the interaction of angiotensin II with the AT1 receptor. The cellular response to angiotensin II is multiphasic, involving stimulation within seconds of phospholipase C and Ca2+ mobilization; activation withi...
متن کاملVascular hypertrophy in angiotensin II-induced hypertension is mediated by vascular smooth muscle cell-derived H2O2.
Angiotensin II induces the development of vascular hypertrophy and hypertension. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that reactive oxygen species are involved in many of the vascular responses to angiotensin II. However, the role of specific cell types and the precise identity of the functionally relevant reactive oxygen species remain unclear. In this study, we established a line...
