A collagen/vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) incorporating elastic scaffold for tissue-engineered vascular graft
Statement of Purpose: This study was focused on a collagen/cell mixture seeding method to improve the adhesion and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in tubular porous scaffolds for vascular grafts application. Recently, poly(L-lactide-co-εcaprolactone) (PLCL) copolymers have been applied as a biomaterial for vascular graft due to the high elastic property. We previously repor...
متن کامل"Obese" smooth muscle cells fail to assemble collagen fibrils.
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play an important role in the stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. They contribute to form a firm fibrous cap by synthesizing and assembling fibrillar collagen I, a process that requires the synthesis of fibronectin and activation of integrins. However, extracellular matrix composition changes during the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Type I and III collag...
متن کاملGlycoprotein, elastin, and collagen secretion by rat smooth muscle cells.
Smooth muscle cells from rat heart secreted extracellular matrix components at high rates for many generations in culture. The matrix proteins remained anchored to the culture dish and were characterized after removal of cellular material with sodium dodecyl sulfate. Sequential enzyme digestion demonstrated the presence of at least three components, including glycoprotein(s), elastin, and colla...
متن کاملAirway Smooth Muscle Cells Synthesize Hyaluronan “cable” Structures Independent of Heavy Chain Attachment
The covalent association of inter-alphainhibitor (IαI) derived heavy-chains (HCs) with hyaluronan was first described in synovial fluid from arthritic patients and later described as a structural and functional component of hyaluronan “cable” structures produced by many different cells and stimuli. HC-transfer has been shown to be mediated by the protein product of tumor necrosis factor – stimu...
