Tanshinone IIA inhibits AGEs-induced proliferation and migration of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells by suppressing ERK1/2 MAPK signaling
Objective(s): Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular disease. Our current study sought to explore the effects of tanshinone IIA on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs induced by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Materials and Methods: In this study, we examined the effects of tanshinone IIA by cell proliferation assay and cell mi...
متن کاملRapamycin inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration.
Abnormal vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and migration contribute to the development of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and accelerated arteriopathy after cardiac transplantation. Previously, we reported that the macrolide antibiotic rapamycin, but not the related compound FK506, inhibits both human and rat aortic SMC proliferation in vitro by inh...
متن کاملLigustilide inhibits vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation.
Proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are believed to develop atherosclerosis and venous bypass graft disease. Ligustilide is widely used to treat some pathological settings such as atherosclerosis and hypertension. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of ligustilide on VSMCs proliferation. The results show that ligustilide significantly inhibited VSMCs ...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle contractile elements. Cellular regulation.
For many years the simple view was held that contractile force in smooth muscle was proportional to cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i). With the discovery that phosphorylation of myosin light chain by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase initiated contraction, regulation of the contractile elements developed more complex properties. Molecular and biochemical investigations h...
متن کاملMobilization of cellular calcium and contraction-relaxation of vascular smooth muscle.
In order to clarify the Ca2+ mediated regulatory mechanism of vascular smooth muscle, the correlation between Ca2+ movements in the cell and mechanical response was investigated using isolated rat aorta and bovine basilar artery. K+ induced contraction of vascular smooth muscle required Ca2+ in the medium, and the contraction was always associated with a large increase in Ca2+ influx. In the ab...
