Inflammation 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 کاملVascular smooth muscle progenitor cells: building and repairing blood vessels.
Molecular pathways that control the specification, migration, and number of available smooth muscle progenitor cells play key roles in determining blood vessel size and structure, capacity for tissue repair, and progression of age-related disorders. Defects in these pathways produce malformations of developing blood vessels, depletion of smooth muscle progenitor cell pools for vessel wall maint...
متن کاملPhysiological smooth muscle cell apoptosis contributes to the uterine vascular remodeling in human early pregnancy.
Although equipped with the entire machinery driving cell proliferation and cell death, the turnover of the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) layer within the vascular wall is quite low throughout the adult normal body. Vascular wall remodeling with VSMC apoptosis is routinely considered as associated with vascular diseases. This includes the development and regression of vascular thickening in...
متن کاملMicroRNA-133 controls vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switch in vitro and vascular remodeling in vivo.
RATIONALE MicroRNA (miR)-1 and -133 play a crucial role in skeletal and cardiac muscle biology and pathophysiology. However, their expression and regulation in vascular cell physiology and disease is currently unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role, if any, of miR-1 and miR-133 in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic switch in vitro and in vivo. ME...
متن کاملCyclophilin A mediates vascular remodeling by promoting inflammation and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress, generated by excessive reactive oxygen species, promotes cardiovascular disease. Cyclophilin A (CyPA) is a 20-kDa chaperone protein secreted from vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in response to reactive oxygen species that stimulates VSMC proliferation and inflammatory cell migration in vitro; however, the role CyPA plays in vascular function in vivo remains unk...
