Eviprostat Activates cAMP Signaling Pathway and Suppresses Bladder Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation
Eviprostat is a popular phytotherapeutic agent for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). At present, the signaling mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects are still poorly understood. Given that cAMP has been reported to suppress cell hyperplasia and hypertrophy in various pathological situations, we asked whether the effect of Eviprostat could be ascribed to the activatio...
متن کاملRosuvastatin suppresses platelet-derived growth factor-BB-induced vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration via the MAPK signaling pathway
An imbalance in the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is significant in the onset and progression of vascular diseases, including arteriosclerosis and restenosis subsequent to vein grafting or coronary intervention. Rosuvastatin, a selective inhibitor of hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, has pharmacological properties including the ability t...
متن کاملThe Hippo pathway mediates inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation by cAMP.
AIMS Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation by intracellular cAMP prevents excessive neointima formation and hence angioplasty restenosis and vein-graft failure. These protective effects are mediated via actin-cytoskeleton remodelling and subsequent regulation of gene expression by mechanisms that are incompletely understood. Here we investigated the role of components o...
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 کاملAlcohol inhibits smooth muscle cell proliferation via regulation of the Notch signaling pathway.
OBJECTIVE To determine the role of Notch signaling in mediating alcohol's inhibition of smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation. METHODS AND RESULTS Treatment of human coronary artery SMCs with ethanol (EtOH) decreased Notch 1 mRNA and Notch 1 intracellular domain protein levels, in the absence of any effect on Notch 3. EtOH treatment also decreased C-promoter binding factor-1 (CBF-1)/recombin...
