Stiffness changes in cultured airway smooth muscle cells.
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells in culture stiffen when exposed to contractile agonists. Such cell stiffening may reflect activation of the contractile apparatus as well as polymerization of cytoskeletal biopolymers. Here we have assessed the relative contribution of these mechanisms in cultured ASM cells stimulated with serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) in the presence or absence of drugs...
متن کاملSynthesis in Cultured Smooth Muscle Cells*
Recently, we have reported on the isolation of a high molecular weight species of soluble elastin from lathyritic chick which was postulated to represent the primary precursor of elastin (proelastin). In order to establish the existence and precursor function of proelastin, second passage rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells, previously shown to be synthesizing insoluble elastin, were pulsed with ...
متن کاملChanges in the components of extracellular matrix and in growth properties of cultured aortic smooth muscle cells upon ascorbate feeding
Culture conditions can modify the composition of the extracellular matrix of cultured calf aortas smooth muscle cells. In the absence of ascorbate the major components of the matrix are microfibrillar proteins; deposition of collagen occurs upon ascorbate supplementation and, with increased time of exposure of cells to ascorbate, collagen becomes the dominant protein of the extracellular matrix...
متن کاملTanshinone 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 کاملChanges in the cytoskeletal structure of cultured smooth muscle cells induced by calyculin-A.
Changes in the cytoskeletal structure of cultured A10 smooth muscle cells induced by calyculin-A (CL-A), a potent inhibitor of types 1 and 2A protein phosphatases, were analyzed using indirect fluorescence techniques. In the presence of 1 x 10(-7) M CL-A the cells became round and subsequently detached from the substratum. The effect of CL-A was inhibited by a non-selective kinase inhibitor, K-...
