Inflammation and Vascular Calcification Causing Effects of Oxidized HDL are Attenuated by Adiponectin in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
The role of oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) and the protective effects of adiponectin in terms of vascular calcification is not well established. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oxHDL with regards to inflammation and vascular calcification and to determine the protective role of adiponectin in attenuating the detrimental effects of oxHDL. Cell viability, mineral...
متن کاملCalcium and chloride channel activation by angiotensin II-AT1 receptors in preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells.
The pathways responsible for the rapid and sustained increases in [Ca(2+)](i) following activation of ANG II receptors (AT(1)) in renal vascular smooth muscle cells were evaluated using fluorescence microscopy. Resting intracellular calcium concentration [Ca(2+)](i) averaged 75 +/- 9 nM. The response to ANG II (100 nM) was characterized by a rapid initial increase of [Ca(2+)](i) by 74 +/- 6 nM ...
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 کاملThe Effect of Adiponectin on Osteonectin Gene Expression by Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein-Treated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Osteonectin is a bone- associated protein involved in vascular calcification. Adiponectin may protect against cardiovascular disease but possible effects on vascular calcification have been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the modulatory effect of adiponectin on oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL)- induced expression of osteonectin in human aorta vascular smooth mus...
متن کاملInhibition by acetylcholine of adrenergic neurotransmission in vascular smooth muscle.
Changes in the isometric tension of isolated strips of cutaneous, femoral, mesenteric, pulmonary, and muscle arteries and veins were recorded at 37°C in an organ bath. Acetylcholine (5 X 10~ and 10"' g/ml) caused relaxation of strips from the saphenous veins, the femoral veins, and all of the arteries after contraction by norepinephrine released from nerve terminals by electrical stimulation (2...
