The Effect of Adiponectin on Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Background & Aims: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Adiponectin reducesthe risk of heart disease, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this study was the investigation of the effect of adiponectin on MMP-9 gene expression. It seems this hormone can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis ...
متن کاملRecipient origin of neointimal vascular smooth muscle cells in cardiac allografts with transplant arteriosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease is today's most important post-heart transplantation problem after the first perioperative year. Histologically, coronary artery disease is characterized by transplant arteriosclerosis. The current view on this vasculopathy is that vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells from the media of affected arteries proliferate and migrate into the sub-endothelial space (int...
متن کاملVascular Smooth Muscle and Cardiac Cells
The presence of chloride-formate anion exchange in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and cardiac myocytes was investigated. Imposing an outward chloride gradient in sarcolemmal microsomes isolated from canine aorta stimulated [W4C]formate uptake compared with the absence of a chloride gradient (24.3±2.33 versus 9.8±1.41 pmol/mg protein for 30 seconds, P<.03) and induced transient uphill ['4C...
متن کاملIntimal smooth muscle cells: the context-dependent origin.
The sixth-century BC Chinese military general Sun Tzu underscored the dangers of overconfidence in strategy. A similar view has been shared by other thinkers and applied further to various contexts other than the military. A major goal of the medical sciences is to develop effective, wellrefined therapies. Accomplishing this task requires a comprehensive understanding of the biology of each com...
متن کاملSmooth-muscle tumours of the alimentary tract.
Smooth muscle tumors (SMT) of the alimentary tract are uncommon. A series of 32 cases (16 leiomyomas and 16 leiomyosarcomas) are presented. The most common presenting clinical signs are bleeding or obstruction. These are caused mainly by degenerative changes within the lesion or its enlargement. The endoluminal SMT cause symptoms early and are more easily detectable. However, the extraluminal S...
