Notch and vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype.
The Notch signaling pathway is critical for cell fate determination during embryonic development, including many aspects of vascular development. An emerging paradigm suggests that the Notch gene regulatory network is often recapitulated in the context of phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), vascular remodeling, and repair in adult vascular disease following injury. Not...
متن کاملChronic kidney disease alters vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype.
Vascular access dysfunction associated with arteriovenous grafts and fistulas contributes to the morbidity and mortality of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients receiving hemodialysis. We hypothesized that the uremic conditions associated with CKD promote a pathophysiological vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype that contributes to neointimal hyperplasia. We analyzed the effect of cult...
متن کاملSyndecan-1 Regulates Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype
OBJECTIVE We examined the role of syndecan-1 in modulating the phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells in the context of endogenous inflammatory factors and altered microenvironments that occur in disease or injury-induced vascular remodeling. METHODS AND RESULTS Vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) display a continuum of phenotypes that can be altered during vascular remodeling. While the ...
متن کاملSM22 Modulates Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype During Atherogenesis
The function of cytoskeletal proteins in the modulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype during vascular disease is poorly understood. In this report, we used a combination of gene targeting and Cre/loxmediated cell fate mapping in mice to investigate the role of SM22 , an SMC-specific cytoskeletal protein of unknown function, in the development of atherosclerosis. In hypercholest...
متن کاملCrosstalk Between Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Notch, and Transforming Growth Factor- in Vascular Morphogenesis Notch Signaling in Cardiac Development Notch and Vascular Smooth Muscle Phenotype
The Notch signaling pathway has been demonstrated to play a critical role during mammalian cardiac development based on recent findings from gene-targeted mice. In addition, mutations in the Notch signaling pathway have been associated with human congenital heart defects such as Alagille syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve disease, calcification of the heart valves, and ventricular septal defects. ...
