MicroRNA133a: a new variable in vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching.
The human genome is replete with digital information, only 1.2% of which comprises protein-coding sequence. The nonprotein-coding sequence encompasses 1 million regulatory elements controlling gene expression and codes for such genomic processes as recombination, replication, splicing, transposition, and structural integration of the genome with the surrounding nucleoskeleton. Throughout such p...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic plasticity: focus on chromatin remodelling.
Differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) retain the capacity to modify their phenotype in response to inflammation or injury. This phenotypic switching is a crucial component of vascular disease, and is partly dependent on epigenetic regulation. An appreciation has been building in the literature for the essential role chromatin remodelling plays both in SMC lineage determination and ...
متن کاملTAK1 plays a major role in growth factor-induced phenotypic modulation of airway smooth muscle.
Increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass is a major feature of airway remodeling in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Growth factors induce a proliferative ASM phenotype, characterized by an increased proliferative state and a decreased contractile protein expression, reducing contractility of the muscle. Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a mitogen-activat...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle phenotypic diversity and function.
The control of force production in vascular smooth muscle is critical to the normal regulation of blood flow and pressure, and altered regulation is common to diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, and ischemia. A great deal has been learned about imbalances in vasoconstrictor and vasodilator signals, e.g., angiotensin, endothelin, norepinephrine, and nitric oxide, that regulate vascular...
متن کاملPhenotypic Modulation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells:
G protein-coupled receptors regulate two major functions of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) the vasomotor contractile response and the proliferative response. The contractile phenotype of SMCs has mainly been studied in situ within intact blood vessels, whereas the synthetic or proliferative SMC phenotypes can be studied in culture and represent a model of the SMC phenotype seen in vascular...
