AT2 receptors attenuate AT1 receptor-induced phospholipase D activation in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Previous studies indicate that angiotensin (AT)(1) receptor-induced activation of phospholipase D (PLD) may importantly contribute to vascular hypertrophy, injury, and contraction. However, the role of AT(2) receptors in regulating AT(1) receptor-induced PLD activation is unknown. In this study, we identified angiotensin II receptors on cultured preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells (PGSMC...
متن کاملThe role of autophagy in advanced glycation end product-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells
Objective(s): To investigate the role of autophagy in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).Materials and Methods: After culture, VSMCs were treated with 0, 1, 10, and 100 μg/ml concentrations of AGEs. Autophagy specific protein light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II was determined by western blotting, autophagosomes were observ...
متن کاملSignal Transduction in Smooth Muscle Invited Review: Regulation of myosin phosphorylation in smooth muscle
Pfitzer, Gabriele. Invited Review: Regulation of myosin phosphorylation in smooth muscle. J Appl Physiol 91: 497–503, 2001.— Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chains of myosin II (rMLC) by the Ca21/calmodulin-dependent myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) and dephosphorylation by a type 1 phosphatase (MLCP), which is targeted to myosin by a regulatory subunit (MYPT1), are the predominant mech...
متن کاملRedox regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation.
Experiments were performed to determine the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in regulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype. After quiescence, cultured human VSMCs increased their expression of differentiation proteins (alpha-actin, calponin, and SM1 and SM2 myosin), but not beta-actin. ROS activity, determined using the H(2)O(2)-sensitive probe dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCF)...
متن کاملSignal transduction of betacellulin in growth and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) family ligands have been implicated in cardiovascular diseases because of their enhanced expression in vascular lesions and their promoting effects on growth and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Betacellulin (BTC), a novel EGF family ligand, has been shown to be expressed in atherosclerotic lesions and to be a potent growth factor of VSMCs. Howeve...
