Syndecan-1 Regulates Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype
OBJECTIVE We examined the role of syndecan-1 in modulating the phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells in the context of endogenous inflammatory factors and altered microenvironments that occur in disease or injury-induced vascular remodeling. METHODS AND RESULTS Vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) display a continuum of phenotypes that can be altered during vascular remodeling. While the ...
متن کاملMyocardin regulates vascular smooth muscle cell inflammatory activation and disease.
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis, the cause of 50% of deaths in westernized societies, is widely regarded as a chronic vascular inflammatory disease. Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) inflammatory activation in response to local proinflammatory stimuli contributes to disease progression and is a pervasive feature in developing atherosclerotic plaques. Therefore, it is of considerable therapeutic impo...
متن کاملCell surface thrombospondin is functionally essential for vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation
Thrombospondin (TS) is an extracellular glycoprotein whose synthesis and secretion by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) is regulated by platelet-derived growth factor. We have used a panel of five monoclonal antibodies against TS to determine an essential role for thrombospondin in the proliferation of cultured rat aortic SMC. All five monoclonal antibodies inhibited SMC growth in 3-d and exte...
متن کاملThrombospondin-1 antagonizes nitric oxide-stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell responses.
OBJECTIVE Endothelial-derived nitric oxide (NO), by increasing cGMP, is a major physiological regulator of vascular tone and of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) adhesion, chemotaxis, and proliferation. Thrombospondin-1 is a potent antagonist of NO/cGMP signaling in endothelial cells. Because endothelial and VSMC typically exhibit opposing responses to thrombospondin-1, we examined thrombospon...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle cell growth arrest on blockade of thrombospondin-1 requires p21Cip1/WAF1.
Abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and restenosis. Previous studies have implicated the extracellular matrix protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) in mitogen-dependent proliferation of VSMCs. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in TSP1-mediated regulation of VSMC growth...
