H-RAS controls phenotypic profiles of vascular smooth muscle cells and the pathogenesis of vascular proliferative disorders.
Vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) migration, proliferation, and hypertrophy following physical, chemical, or biological injury are key events in the onset and progression of vascular proliferative disorders, such as atherosclerosis, postangioplasty stenosis, venous bypass graft failure, and transplantation. Under normal conditions, VSMCs exist in a quiescent state of growth that supports contractil...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle cells in the pathogenesis of vascular calcification.
Vascular calcification is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In atherosclerotic lesions, calcification is mainly found in the neointima of atheromatous plaques and has been shown to positively correlate with the plaque burden and the risk of myocardial infarction. Calcification of atherosclerotic plaques has been clearly shown to result from osteoblastic differentia...
متن کاملPhenotypic Modulation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells:
G protein-coupled receptors regulate two major functions of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) the vasomotor contractile response and the proliferative response. The contractile phenotype of SMCs has mainly been studied in situ within intact blood vessels, whereas the synthetic or proliferative SMC phenotypes can be studied in culture and represent a model of the SMC phenotype seen in vascular...
متن کاملInflammation and Vascular Calcification Causing Effects of Oxidized HDL are Attenuated by Adiponectin in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
The role of oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) and the protective effects of adiponectin in terms of vascular calcification is not well established. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oxHDL with regards to inflammation and vascular calcification and to determine the protective role of adiponectin in attenuating the detrimental effects of oxHDL. Cell viability, mineral...
متن کاملThe Effect of Adiponectin on Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Background & Aims: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Adiponectin reducesthe risk of heart disease, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this study was the investigation of the effect of adiponectin on MMP-9 gene expression. It seems this hormone can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis ...
