Signalling molecules involved in mouse bladder smooth muscle cellular differentiation.
Mouse bladder mesenchyme differentiates into smooth muscle under the influence of urothelium at gestational day 13.5 (E13.5). Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is considered to be the upstream gene arising from the urothelium, which induces smooth muscle in the peripheral bladder mesenchyme. We hypothesize differential gene expression across the full thickness of bladder mesenchyme as a function of proximit...
متن کاملCytosolic Calcium Oscillations in Smooth Muscle Cells.
In a variety of smooth muscle cells, agonists activating membrane receptors induce oscillations in the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration via an inositol trisphosphate-activated mechanism. Ca(2+) oscillations participate in the control of cell membrane potential and the tone of smooth muscle. There is evidence that alterations in Ca(2+) oscillations modulate smooth muscle responsiveness.
متن کاملEffect of chronic hypoxia on calcium signalling in airway smooth muscle cells.
Chronic hypoxia (CH) alters smooth muscle contractility. CH generally produces a sustained attenuation of vasoreactivity. In airways, this effect of CH is poorly understood although CH is frequently observed in patients with pulmonary diseases. This study was designed to examine the effect of CH on both the isometric contraction of isolated rings and the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i...
متن کاملNotch signalling in smooth muscle cells during development and disease.
The Notch signalling pathway is a highly conserved cell-cell signalling mechanism that plays a central role in the development and maturation of most vertebrate organs. In vertebrates, Notch receptors, several ligands, and components of the downstream signalling machinery are expressed in the vessel. Over the past decade, numerous studies have highlighted the critical role of the Notch pathway ...
متن کاملNFAT signalling and the differentiation of coronary smooth muscle cells.
Development of the heart is complex and cells with different embryonic origins participate in cardiac organogenesis. The first and second heart fields deliver cells to generate the atrial and ventricular chambers and also participate in venous inflow and arterial outflow tract formation. There are also important cellular contributions from two extra-cardiac cell populations, i.e. cardiac neural...
