Regulation of smooth muscle cell migration and integrin expression by the Gax transcription factor.
Homeobox transcription factors specify body plan by regulating differentiation, proliferation, and migration at a cellular level. The homeobox transcription factor Gax is expressed in quiescent vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and its expression is downregulated by vascular injury or other conditions that lead to VSMC proliferation. Previous investigations demonstrate that Gax may regulate...
متن کاملRedox-sensitive transcription factor Nrf2 regulates vascular smooth muscle cell migration and neointimal hyperplasia.
OBJECTIVE Reactive oxygen species are important mediators for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells, whereas excess reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative stress contributes to the development and progression of vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. Activation of the redox-sensitive transcription factor, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related facto...
متن کاملDiosgenin modulates vascular smooth muscle cell function by regulating cell viability, migration, and calcium homeostasis.
In this study, we compared the potencies of diosgenin, a plant-derived sapogenin structurally similar to estrogen and progesterone, on vascular smooth muscle functions ranging from contraction and migration to apoptosis. The effects of diosgenin on vascular smooth muscle cell viability and migration were measured using a primary mouse aortic smooth muscle cell culture. The effects of diosgenin ...
متن کاملRapamycin inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration.
Abnormal vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and migration contribute to the development of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and accelerated arteriopathy after cardiac transplantation. Previously, we reported that the macrolide antibiotic rapamycin, but not the related compound FK506, inhibits both human and rat aortic SMC proliferation in vitro by inh...
متن کاملMechanisms of vascular smooth muscle cell migration.
Smooth muscle cell migration occurs during vascular development, in response to vascular injury, and during atherogenesis. Many proximal signals and signal transduction pathways activated during migration have been identified, as well as components of the cellular machinery that affect cell movement. In this review, a summary of promigratory and antimigratory molecules belonging to diverse chem...
