Retinoids: versatile biological response modifiers of vascular smooth muscle phenotype.
Proper regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation and growth is critical for vasculogenesis and the maintenance of homeostasis in the mature vessel wall.1,2 Perturbations in the molecular circuitry governing SMC differentiation and growth are thought to be of central importance in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, hypertension, and restenosis after procedural revasculari...
متن کاملElectrospun elastin-like polypeptide enriched polyurethanes and their interactions with vascular smooth muscle cells.
In vascular tissue, elastin is an essential extracellular matrix protein that plays an important biomechanical and biological signalling role. Native elastin is insoluble and is difficult to extract from tissues, which results in its relatively rare use for the fabrication of vascular tissue engineering scaffolds. Recombinant elastin-like polypeptide-4 (ELP4), which mimics the structure and fun...
متن کاملAutophagic regulation of smooth muscle cell biology
Autophagy regulates the metabolism, survival, and function of numerous cell types, including those comprising the cardiovascular system. In the vasculature, changes in autophagy have been documented in atherosclerotic and restenotic lesions and in hypertensive vessels. The biology of vascular smooth muscle cells appears particularly sensitive to changes in the autophagic program. Recent evidenc...
متن کاملMyocardin: dominant driver of the smooth muscle cell contractile phenotype.
A distinguishing feature of the smooth muscle cell (SMC) lineage is its remarkable plasticity required for maintenance and adaptation of the cardiovascular system. The biological properties of SMCs are ultimately determined by the orchestrated expression of genes encoding contractile and cytoskeletal proteins, intracellular enzymes, and cell surface ligands and receptors (for review see1,2). In...
متن کاملThe role of autophagy in advanced glycation end product-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells
Objective(s): To investigate the role of autophagy in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).Materials and Methods: After culture, VSMCs were treated with 0, 1, 10, and 100 μg/ml concentrations of AGEs. Autophagy specific protein light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II was determined by western blotting, autophagosomes were observ...
