متن کاملJunB Mediates Basal- and TGFβ1-Induced Smooth Muscle Cell Contractility
Smooth muscle contraction is a dynamic process driven by acto-myosin interactions that are controlled by multiple regulatory proteins. Our studies have shown that members of the AP-1 transcription factor family control discrete behaviors of smooth muscle cells (SMC) such as growth, migration and fibrosis. However, the role of AP-1 in regulation of smooth muscle contractility is incompletely und...
متن کاملSmooth Muscle Cell Motility Paired Down
Acardinal feature of the response to injury within the muscularized, adult blood vessel wall is the transformation of an highly organized, isometric, cytoskeletal archetype, housed within vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), to one that supports cell migration, the function of which is to elicit repair.1 Such reorganization of the SMC cytoskeleton permits cells to move from the comfort of their...
متن کاملNeuropilin 1 Is Essential for Gastrointestinal Smooth Muscle Contractility and Motility in Aged Mice
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) is a non-tyrosine kinase receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and class 3 semaphorins, playing a role in angiogenesis and neuronal axon guidance, respectively. NRP1 is expressed in smooth muscle cells (SMC) but the functional role of NRP1 in SMC has not been elucidated. We therefore investigated the biological relevance of NRP1 in SMC in...
متن کاملElectrolytes and Arterial Muscle Contractility
THAT changes in ionic gradients affect contractility and excitability has been shown in skeletal muscle,' cardiac muscle' ° and nerve." The reduction of external sodium causes reduction and eventual loss of excitability in nerve and skeletal muscle, supposedly because depolarization is due to the entry of sodium into the cell. The precise effect of alterations in external sodium on contractilit...
