Differential Regulation of Vascular Smooth Muscle and Endothelial Cell Proliferation
37 cAMP inhibits proliferation in most cell types triggering different and sometimes opposing 38 molecular pathways. p85α (PI3K regulatory subunit) is phosphorylated by cAMP/PKA in certain 39 cell lineages but its effects on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) 40 are unknown. In the present study we evaluated: i) the role of p85α in the integration of 41 cAMP/PKA-de...
متن کاملReflex regulation of airway smooth muscle tone.
Autonomic nerves in most mammalian species mediate both contractions and relaxations of airway smooth muscle. Cholinergic-parasympathetic nerves mediate contractions, whereas adrenergic-sympathetic and/or noncholinergic parasympathetic nerves mediate relaxations. Sympathetic-adrenergic innervation of human airway smooth muscle is sparse or nonexistent based on histological analyses and plays li...
متن کاملThe Effect of Adiponectin on Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Background & Aims: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Adiponectin reducesthe risk of heart disease, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this study was the investigation of the effect of adiponectin on MMP-9 gene expression. It seems this hormone can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis ...
متن کاملThe vascular endothelial cell mediates insulin transport into skeletal muscle.
The pathways by which insulin exits the vasculature to muscle interstitium have not been characterized. In the present study, we infused FITC-labeled insulin to trace morphologically (using confocal immunohistochemical methods) insulin transport into rat skeletal muscle. We biopsied rectus muscle at 0, 10, 30, and 60 min after beginning a continuous (10 mU x min(-1) x kg(-1)), intravenous FITC-...
متن کاملThe regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis.
Apoptosis describes the morphological changes that identify a specific form of regulated cell death. Over recent years, the importance of either aberrant onset or suppression of apoptosis within tissues has become apparent and is associated with the development of several terminal diseases. Here we describe the relevance of apoptosis to the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. Specifically, we ...
