Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype Modulation and Contraction on Native and Cross-Linked Polyelectrolyte Multilayers
Smooth muscle cells convert between a motile, proliferative "synthetic" phenotype and a sessile, "contractile" phenotype. The ability to manipulate the phenotype of aortic smooth muscle cells with thin biocompatible polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMUs) with common surface chemical characteristics but varying stiffness was investigated. The stiffness of (PAH/PAA) PEMUs was varied by heating to fo...
متن کاملHistological Modifications Aging Aorta in Male Albino Rat
Aging represents a major risk for vascular diseases. Diseases of the aorta causes serious back effects on the heart. This study aims to detect the histological changes of the aged aorta and to understand their underlying mechanisms to help in development of the prophylactic and treatment measures. Ten adult and ten aged male albino rats were used. Specimens from their thoracic aorta were prepar...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic changes in patients with Marfan syndrome.
OBJECTIVE Marfan's syndrome is characterized by the formation of ascending aortic aneurysms resulting from altered assembly of extracellular matrix microfibrils and chronic tissue growth factor (TGF)-β signaling. TGF-β is a potent regulator of the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype. We hypothesized that as a result of the chronic TGF-β signaling, VSMC would alter their basal different...
متن کاملModulation of smooth muscle cell phenotype: the other side of the story.
The causes of vascular diseases are complex and strongly influenced by environmental factors as well as genetic predisposition. Ultimately, these factors alter the structure and/or functional properties of the arterial wall disrupting vascular homeostasis. Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases including atherosclerosis, systemic and pu...

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine disorders with increasing prevalence. Cardiovascular complications are among the major causes of death in diabetic patients. Type II diabetes mellitus is generally treated with sulfonylureas. There are controversial reports regarding adverse cardiovascular effects of these drugs. Also evidence exists about differences in side effec...
