Notch and vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype.
The Notch signaling pathway is critical for cell fate determination during embryonic development, including many aspects of vascular development. An emerging paradigm suggests that the Notch gene regulatory network is often recapitulated in the context of phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), vascular remodeling, and repair in adult vascular disease following injury. Not...
متن کاملRegulation of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype by cyclic GMP and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase.
This basic science review examines the role of cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype. The first such studies suggested a role for nitric oxide (NO) and atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP), and the downstream second messenger cGMP, in the inhibition of VSMC proliferation. Subsequently, many laboratories confirmed the anti-pro...
متن کاملCa2+ source-dependent transcription of CRE-containing genes in vascular smooth muscle.
Altered Ca2+ handling has immediate physiological and long-term genomic effects on vascular smooth muscle function. Previously we showed that Ca2+ entry through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) or store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCCs) results in phosphorylation of the Ca2+/cAMP response element (CRE)-binding protein in cerebral arteries. Here, oligonucleotide array analysis was used to de...
متن کاملSmooth muscle cell-specific transcription is regulated by nuclear localization of the myocardin-related transcription factors.
On the basis of our previous studies on RhoA signaling in smooth muscle cells (SMC), we hypothesized that RhoA-mediated nuclear translocalization of the myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) was important for regulating SMC phenotype. MRTF-A protein and MRTF-B message were detected in aortic SMC and in many adult mouse organs that contain a large SMC component. Both MRTFs upregulated ...
متن کاملCa2+, calmodulin, and cyclins in vascular smooth muscle cell cycle.
Ca 2 is a major determinant of many biochemical processes in various cell types, from the beginning of new life and egg fertilization to the end of life and cell death.1 In vascular smooth muscle (VSM), physiological resting levels of intracellular free Ca concentration ([Ca ]i) in the nanomolar range are necessary to maintain basal vascular tone.2–4 VSM activation is associated with an increas...
