Olibanum extract inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation in response to platelet-derived growth factor.
Olibanum (Boswellia serrata) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic and anti-cancer effects. This study determined the role of a water extract of olibanum in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated proliferation and migration of rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). PDGF-BB induced the migration and proliferation of RASMCs that were inhibited by olibanum extract in...
متن کاملHuman uterine myometrial smooth muscle cell proliferation and vascular endothelial growth-factor production in response to platelet-derived growth factor.
It has been recognized that tissue-specific growth factors and angiogenic factors play important roles in the growth of tumors and in the tissue-repair system. In uterine myometrial smooth muscle cells, it has also been reported that the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) binds to PDGF receptors and stimulates proliferation. In this paper, we examine whether or not PDGF is able to stimulate ...
متن کاملGlyceollins inhibit platelet-derived growth factor-mediated human arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB can induce abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) that are involved in the development of CVD. In our preliminary study, phytoalexin glyceollins (glyceollins I, II and III) isolated from soyabean seeds cultured with Aspergillus sojae showed strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Since antioxidants showed b...
متن کاملApolipoprotein D and platelet-derived growth factor-BB synergism mediates vascular smooth muscle cell migration.
We identified apolipoprotein (apo)D in a search for proteins upregulated in a posttranscriptional manner similar to fibronectin in motile smooth muscle cells (SMCs). To address the function of apoD in SMCs, we cloned a partial apoD cDNA from ovine aortic (Ao) SMCs using RT-PCR. We documented a 2.5-fold increase in apoD protein but no increase in apoD mRNA in Ao SMCs 48 hours after a multiwound ...
متن کاملTanshinone IIA inhibits AGEs-induced proliferation and migration of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells by suppressing ERK1/2 MAPK signaling
Objective(s): Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular disease. Our current study sought to explore the effects of tanshinone IIA on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs induced by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Materials and Methods: In this study, we examined the effects of tanshinone IIA by cell proliferation assay and cell mi...
