Smooth muscle archvillin: a novel regulator of signaling and contractility in vascular smooth muscle.
The mechanisms by which protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) govern smooth-muscle contractility remain unclear. Calponin (CaP), an actin-binding protein and PKC substrate, mediates signaling through ERK1/2. We report here that CaP sequences containing the CaP homology (CH) domain bind to the C-terminal 251 amino acids of smooth-muscle archvillin (SmAV), a n...
متن کاملSensitization of Vascular Smooth Muscle Contractility
because phenylephrine is thought to act exclusively through G q/11. Conclusion: We demonstrate that p63RhoGEF selectively couples G q/11 but not G 12/13, to RhoA activation in blood vessels and cultured cells and thus mediates the physiologically important Ca sensitization of force induced with G q/11-coupled agonists. Our results suggest that signaling through p63RhoGEF provides a novel mechan...
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...
متن کاملThe effect of aqueous extract of pomegranate seed on rat uterine smooth muscle contractility
Introduction: Considering the importance of uterine contractions in uterus retraction and reducing post-partum hemorrhage and the current findings on the effect of the alcoholic extract of pomegranate seed on the uterine contractility, only few studies were made on this issue. In the present study the cumulative effect of the aqueous extract of pomegranate seed on the uterine smooth muscle c...
متن کاملVasopressin signaling pathways in vascular smooth muscle.
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) exhibits both acute and long-term effects on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Acutely, AVP regulates vascular tone and stimulates contraction. Longer term exposure of VSMC to AVP in the absence of other mitogenic agents results in cell hypertrophy without increases in cell number, and increased expression of a number of muscle-specific genes including the smooth m...
