Proliferation of smooth muscle cells after vascular injury is inhibited by an antibody against basic fibroblast growth factor.
Proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) represents an important event in vascular lesion formation. Despite the common belief that growth factors contribute to the development of the atherosclerotic plaque, until now there has been no direct evidence for a role of mitogens in the development of arterial lesions. Balloon catheter injury of the rat carotid artery is accompanied by death of me...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor beta 1 inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase induced by basic fibroblast growth factor in smooth muscle cells.
Stimulation of smooth muscle cells with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) results in the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) cascade and leads to cell proliferation. We show that transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), at concentrations that completely inhibited bFGF-induced mitogenic activity, decreased bFGF-induced MAP kinase activity. Under these condi...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta-dependent growth inhibition in primary vascular smooth muscle cells is p38-dependent.
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) constitute the major cellular component of the vessel tunica media. VSMC proliferation is a key feature in developing vessels and pathological states such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta is a key regulator of VSMCs, but its effect on VSMC proliferation and apoptosis are controversial. Here, we characterized TGF-beta e...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor antagonizes transforming growth factor beta-mediated erythroid differentiation in K562 cells.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta) have both been shown to act on hematopoietic progenitor cells. bFGF is a hematopoietic cytokine that acts on progenitor cells in concert with other cytokines to promote their proliferation. TGF-beta induces erythroid differentiation in K562 cells. To determine whether bFGF might act on progenitor cells by ant...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-β3 induced rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells differentiation into smooth muscle cells by activating Myocardin
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and have tremendous potential for cell therapy and tissue engineering. In this study, to understand the effects of TGF-β3 on rat bone marrow-derived MSCs and the underlying molecular mechanism of this differentiation process, we investigated that the changes of myocardin-related transcription factors (MR...
