Molecular mechanism of progesterone-induced antiproliferation in rat aortic smooth muscle cells.
Previously we demonstrated that progesterone at physiologic levels dose dependently inhibited cell proliferation in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). However, the molecular mechanism underlying of progesterone-induced antiproliferation was not clear. Here we demonstrated that progesterone induced a reduction of the [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into RASMCs during the S-phase of ...
متن کاملThe role of autophagy in advanced glycation end product-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells
Objective(s): To investigate the role of autophagy in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).Materials and Methods: After culture, VSMCs were treated with 0, 1, 10, and 100 μg/ml concentrations of AGEs. Autophagy specific protein light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II was determined by western blotting, autophagosomes were observ...
متن کاملReceptors in Cultured Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
Previous studies have demonstrated increased contractile responses to thromboxane A2 (TXA2) mimetics in aortas obtained from male rats compared with those obtained from females. This study was designed to determine the effects of testosterone and 17p-estradiol treatment on TXA2 receptors in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). TXA2 receptor affinity and density were determined thro...
متن کاملRetinoic Acid Affects Mitogenesis in Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
In different experimental models, retinoid has been shown to stimulate or suppress mitogenesis in cultured cells. The mechanisms underlying this seemingly paradoxical activity remain only partially understood. We have examined the ability of alltrans retinoic acid (ATRA), as well as a number of synthetic retinoids, either alone or in the presence of a mitogenic stimulus (i.e., endothelin), to r...
متن کاملRELMα can cause contraction of rat aortic smooth muscle cells.
OBJECTIVE This study aims to observe the contraction role of RELMα in rat aortic smooth muscle cells and explore its mechanism. METHODS Rat aortas smooth muscle cells were cultivated using tissue explants method. They were divided into 5 groups. A: Control group; B: 1×10(-7) mol/L ANGII group; C: 1×10(-8) mol/L RELMα group; D: 2×10(-8) mol/L RELMα group; E: 4×10(-8) mol/L RELMα group. The tho...
