Cell cycle-dependent regulation of smooth muscle cell activation.
OBJECTIVE Although numerous diseases involving cellular proliferation are also associated with phenotypic changes, there has been little direct evidence that cell phenotype and the cell's response to external stimuli are modified during passage through different phases of the cell cycle. In this study, we demonstrate that an association exists between cell cycle progression and the expression o...
متن کاملControl of smooth muscle cell activation.
We have learned from Thomas Kuhn that during periods of “ordinary” science, observations and facts accumulate, conferring upon a given problem an increasing degree of complexity, up to the moment that a scientific revolution opens a new horizon and brings back more simplicity.1 Before these revolutions take place, scientists strongly experience the need for placing some order in a field that be...
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 کاملSmooth muscle cell: a key cell for plaque vulnerability regulation?
The concept that the atheromatous plaque undergoes a complex inflammatory and fibroproliferative process, which is likely responsible for the onset of complications,1 and the notion of vulnerable plaque2 have acquired wide acceptance during the last years. The crucial participation in these events of inflammatory and immunocompetent cells has been demonstrated,1 however the mechanisms through w...
متن کاملOxygen regulation of arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation and survival.
The purpose of this study was to determine if hypoxia elicits different proliferative and apoptotic responses in systemic arterial smooth muscle cells incubated under conditions that do or do not result in cellular ATP depletion and whether these effects are relevant to vascular remodeling in vivo. Gene expression profiling was used to identify potential regulatory pathways. In human aortic smo...
