Reactive 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 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 کاملReactive oxygen species signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to function as important signaling molecules in the cardiovascular system. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contain several sources of ROS, among which the NADPH oxidases are predominant. In VSMCs, ROS mediate many pathophysiological processes, such as growth, migration, apoptosis and secretion of inflammatory cytokines, as well as physiological...
متن کاملRole of reactive oxygen species in bradykinin-induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells.
In addition to the induction of cell proliferation and migration, bradykinin (BK) can increase c-fos mRNA expression, activate ERK 1/2 and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). It is not known, however, whether BK can induce cellular proliferation and extracellular matrix production via redox-sensitive signaling pathways. We investigated the role(s) of R...
متن کاملInhibition of rac1 reduces PDGF-induced reactive oxygen species and proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells.
In vascular smooth muscle cells, reactive oxygen species (ROS) were known to mediate platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced cell proliferation and NADH/NADPH oxidase is the major source of ROS. NADH/NADPH oxidase is controlled by rac1 in non-phagocytic cells. In this study, we examined whether the inhibition of rac1 by adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of a dominant negative rac1 gene pr...
