PPARδ Agonist GW501516 Inhibits PDGF-Stimulated Pulmonary Arterial Smooth Muscle Cell Function Related to Pathological Vascular Remodeling
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and progressive disease, a key feature of which is pulmonary vascular remodeling. Growth factors, cytokines, and lipid mediators are involved in this remodeling process. Recent reports suggest that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play important roles in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation as well as tissue w...
متن کاملTyrosine kinase inhibition prevents deformation-stimulated vascular smooth muscle growth.
The goal of this study was to determine the role of tyrosine phosphorylation in transducing deformation-stimulated vascular smooth muscle growth. Rat aorta-derived vascular smooth muscle cells were cultured on flexible silicone elastomer membranes and subjected to cyclic deformation (15 cycles per minute, deformed 2 seconds, relaxed 2 seconds). Deformation significantly increased proto-oncogene...
متن کاملDecorin Mimic Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Proliferation and Migration
Over the past 10 years, the number of percutaneous coronary intervention procedures performed in the United States increased by 33%; however, restenosis, which inhibits complete functional recovery of the vessel wall, complicates this procedure. A wide range of anti-restenotic therapeutics have been developed, although many elicit non-specific effects that compromise vessel healing. Drawing ins...
متن کاملA novel function of FoxO transcription factors in thrombin-stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.
Thrombin exerts coagulation-independent effects on the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). Forkhead box-O (FoxO) transcription factors regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, but a possible functional interaction between thrombin and FoxO factors has not been identified to date. In human cultured vascular SMC, thrombin induced a time-dependen...
متن کاملFactor-Stimulated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
The early response to vascular injury is characterized by migration of inflammatory cells, including monocytes, and platelets to the damaged vessel wall. These inflammatory cells may serve as a source of growth factors and cytokines that stimulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and proliferation associated with intimal hyperplasia. JE is a plateletderived growth factor (PDGF)-indu...
