Platelets stimulate airway smooth muscle cell proliferation through mechanisms involving 5-lipoxygenase and reactive oxygen species.
Continuous recruitment and inappropriate activity of platelets in the airways may contribute to airway remodeling, a characteristic feature of inflammatory airway diseases that includes increased proliferation of the smooth muscle. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the effect of platelets on proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC) in culture and to determine the pos...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species promote vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.
D o reactive oxygen species play a role in the pathogen-esis of cardiovascular diseases? In 1992, Dr Berk and his group published an article that began to answer this question. During the following years, they performed a series of research projects that established the role of re-active oxygen species in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and cardiovascular diseases. It is now widely re...
متن کاملPlatelets and airway remodeling Mechanisms involved in platelet-induced fibroblast and airway smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro
Airway remodeling is a contributing cause to the pathological structural changes, such as increased cell proliferation, observed in asthma. Platelets have been found in autopsy lungmaterial obtained from asthmatic patients and are well known to induce proliferation in vitro of a variety of cells. However, the role of platelets in airway remodeling is far from understood. This thesis aims to cla...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species induce apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cell.
Apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) plays an important role in the genesis of atherosclerosis and restenosis. In order to investigate the role of reactive oxygen species in the induction of VSMC apoptosis, rat VSMCs were treated with glucose oxidase/glucose (GO/G) or diethylmaleate (DEM). The results showed that GO/G and DEM led to VSMC death. Administration of catalase, superoxide ...
متن کاملET-1 stimulates pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation via induction of reactive oxygen species.
Recent studies implicate reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anions and H(2)O(2) in the proliferation of systemic vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). However, the role of ROS in SMC proliferation within the pulmonary circulation remains unclear. We investigated the effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potential SMC mitogen, on ROS production and proliferation of fetal pulmonary arter...
