Mouse genetic evidence that tranilast reduces smooth muscle cell hyperplasia via a p21(WAF1)-dependent pathway.
OBJECTIVE N-(3'4'-dimethoxycinnamoyl)-anthranilic acid (tranilast) is a drug that has been shown to reduce the incidence of restenosis after angioplasty in middle-scale clinical trials. Despite clinical interest in this drug, the pharmacological actions of tranilast remain relatively unexplored at a molecular level. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the effects of tranilast on vascular smooth ...

متن کاملTranilast Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Growth and Intimal Hyperplasia by Induction of p21 and p53
Tranilast, which is an antiallergic drug, has a potent effect on preventing postangioplasty restenosis. To elucidate this mechanism, we studied the effect of tranilast on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in vitro and in vivo. Tranilast decreased the growth rate of SMCs stimulated by either 10% FBS or platelet-derived growth factor. The IC50 value, evaluated as cell numbe...
متن کاملProfound negative regulatory effects by resveratrol on vascular smooth muscle cells: a role of p53-p21(WAF1/CIP1) pathway.
We investigated the role of resveratrol, a polyphenol rich in red wine, in cell cycle progression and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Resveratrol inhibited the growth of human aortic VSMCs at concentrations as low as 1 microM. This was due to the profound dose-dependent inhibition of DNA synthesis by resveratrol. DNA synthesis was more effectively inhibited when cells were pr...
متن کاملCHOP-dependent regulation of p21/waf1 during ER stress.
The transcription factor CHOP/GADD153 is induced during the unfolded protein response (UPR) and is associated to the induction of ER stress-related apoptosis. However, how the transition between the pro-survival and the pro-apoptotic role of ER stress is being orchestrated remains poorly understood. Here we show that tunicamycin, an antibiotic promoting ER stress, suppresses the expression of p...
