The effect of aqueous extract of pomegranate seed on rat uterine smooth muscle contractility
Introduction: Considering the importance of uterine contractions in uterus retraction and reducing post-partum hemorrhage and the current findings on the effect of the alcoholic extract of pomegranate seed on the uterine contractility, only few studies were made on this issue. In the present study the cumulative effect of the aqueous extract of pomegranate seed on the uterine smooth muscle c...
متن کاملSensitization of Vascular Smooth Muscle Contractility
because phenylephrine is thought to act exclusively through G q/11. Conclusion: We demonstrate that p63RhoGEF selectively couples G q/11 but not G 12/13, to RhoA activation in blood vessels and cultured cells and thus mediates the physiologically important Ca sensitization of force induced with G q/11-coupled agonists. Our results suggest that signaling through p63RhoGEF provides a novel mechan...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle contractility assays for inflammatory and immunological mediators.
The blood vessels are one of the important target tissues for the mediators of inflammation and allergy; further cytokines affect them in a number of ways. We review the use of the isolated blood vessel mounted in organ baths as an important source of pharmacological information. While its use in the bioassay of vasoactive substances tends to be replaced with modern analytical techniques, contr...
متن کاملSmooth muscle archvillin: a novel regulator of signaling and contractility in vascular smooth muscle.
The mechanisms by which protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) govern smooth-muscle contractility remain unclear. Calponin (CaP), an actin-binding protein and PKC substrate, mediates signaling through ERK1/2. We report here that CaP sequences containing the CaP homology (CH) domain bind to the C-terminal 251 amino acids of smooth-muscle archvillin (SmAV), a n...
متن کاملCaveolin-1 regulates contractility in differentiated vascular smooth muscle.
Caveolin is a principal component of caveolar membranes. In the present study, we utilized a decoy peptide approach to define the degree of involvement of caveolin in PKC-dependent regulation of contractility of differentiated vascular smooth muscle. The primary isoform of caveolin in ferret aorta vascular smooth muscle is caveolin-1. Chemical loading of contractile vascular smooth muscle tissu...
