Tanshinone IIA inhibits AGEs-induced proliferation and migration of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells by suppressing ERK1/2 MAPK signaling
Objective(s): Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular disease. Our current study sought to explore the effects of tanshinone IIA on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs induced by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Materials and Methods: In this study, we examined the effects of tanshinone IIA by cell proliferation assay and cell mi...

متن کاملExpression of smooth muscle and nonmuscle myosin heavy chains in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells.
We explored the hypothesis that discrepancies in the literature concerning the nature of myosin expression in cultured smooth muscle cells are due to the appearance of a new form of myosin heavy chain (MHC) in vitro. Previously, we used a very porous sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis system to detect two MHCs in intact smooth muscles (SM1 and SM2) which differ by less than 2% in molecu...
متن کاملNADPH Oxidase Activity in Cultured Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
The signaling pathways involved in the long-term metabolic effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) in vascular smooth muscle cells are incompletely understood but include the generation of molecules likely to affect oxidase activity. We examined the ability of Ang II to stimulate superoxide anion formation and investigated the identity of the oxidases responsible for its production. Treatment of vas...
متن کاملNa-Ca Exchange in Cultured Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) contract as intracellular free calcium ([Ca],) rises. While Na-Ca exchange has been proposed to contribute to transmembrane Ca flux, its role in cultured VSMC is unknown. Accordingly, we have investigated the role of Na-Ca exchange in unidirectional and net transmembrane Ca fluxes in cultured rat aortic VSMC under basal conditions and following agonist-mediat...
