Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell growth by inhibition of fibronectin matrix assembly.
The regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation by the fibronectin matrix was tested by treating human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs) with a recombinant fragment of fibronectin (protein III1-C) that has previously been shown to modulate fibronectin matrix assembly. III1-C inhibited HUASMC proliferation by 75% to 90%. The inhibition of growth was time dependent...

متن کاملCalcification of vascular smooth muscle cell cultures: inhibition by osteopontin.
Calcification of vascular tissue is a common complication in aging, atherosclerosis, diabetes, renal failure, aortic stenosis, and prosthetic valve replacement. Osteopontin is a noncollagenous adhesive protein routinely found at sites of dystrophic calcification and synthesized at high levels by macrophages in calcified aortic valves and atherosclerotic plaques. In the present study, we have ch...
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 کاملGlucocorticoid inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation: influence of homologous extracellular matrix and serum mitogens
We examined the influence of glucocorticoid hormones on the proliferation of cultured adult bovine aortic smooth muscle cells (BASM) using both primary mass cultures and a cloned strain. Cloned BASM cells maintained on plastic culture dishes were inhibited by approximately 40% by dexamethasone treatment but showed no inhibition when grown of homologous extracellular matrix (ECM) coated dishes. ...
