Cellular and ionic signal transduction mechanisms for the mechanical activation of renal arterial vascular smooth muscle.
Elevations in transmural pressure increase active vascular tone in arteries from most vascular beds, and this myogenic response has been shown to play an important role in the regulation of blood flow in the kidney and other organs. The myogenic response in isolated perfused arteries is associated with depolarization of vascular smooth muscle cells and a rise in intracellular calcium concentrat...
متن کاملInflammation and Vascular Calcification Causing Effects of Oxidized HDL are Attenuated by Adiponectin in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
The role of oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) and the protective effects of adiponectin in terms of vascular calcification is not well established. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oxHDL with regards to inflammation and vascular calcification and to determine the protective role of adiponectin in attenuating the detrimental effects of oxHDL. Cell viability, mineral...
متن کاملIntracellular signal transduction for migration and actin remodeling in vascular smooth muscle cells after sphingosylphosphorylcholine stimulation.
Molecular mechanisms underlying migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) toward sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) were analyzed in light of the hypothesis that remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton should be involved. After SPC stimulation, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including p38 MAPK (p38) and p42/44 MAPK (p42/44), were found to be phosphorylated. Migration of cells to...
متن کاملMechanisms of signal transduction during alpha 2-adrenergic receptor-mediated contraction of vascular smooth muscle.
Little is known about the signaling pathways involved in alpha 2-adrenergic receptor-mediated contraction of vascular smooth muscle. In the present study, we measured intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, and myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity during stimulation with the relatively selective alpha 2-agonist UK 14304. These effects were compared and contrasted with co...
متن کاملMechanisms of Signal Transduction During a2-Adrenergic Receptor-Mediated Contraction of Vascular Smooth Muscle
Little is known about the signaling pathways involved in tr2-adrenergic receptor-mediated contraction of vascular smooth muscle. In the present study, we measured intracellular Ca21 ([Ca"2];), myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, and myofilament Ca2' sensitivity during stimulation with the relatively selective cr2-agonist UK 14304. These effects were compared and contrasted with correspond...
