Intraglomerular Expression of or-Smooth Muscle Actin in Aging Mice
To determine whether chronic treatment with enalapril initiated early in life prevents glomerular injury secondary to normal aging, CF1 mice received enalapril (20 mg/L, n=10) or nifedipine (40 mg/L, n=10) in their drinking water from the time of weaning to 12 months of life. Control mice (n=10) received tap water ad libitum. Immunocytochemical detection of renin confirmed that angiotensin-conv...
متن کاملForce regulates smooth muscle actin in cardiac fibroblasts.
Chronic ventricular pressure overload can regulate expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) in cardiac fibroblasts, but it is unclear if force alone or the concomitant activity of angiotensin II is the principal regulatory factor. To test if SMA mRNA and protein in rat cardiac fibroblasts are regulated directly by force, we first induced SMA expression in cultured cells and then applied ma...
متن کاملA Comparative, semi-quantitative Evaluation of Myofibroblasts Between Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma and Pleomorphic Adenoma Using α -Smooth Muscle Actin Marker
Abstract Introduction: Myofibroblasts are the main stromal components that constitute the desmoplastic reaction of host cells to inductive stimuli exerted by tumor cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the score of myofibroblasts using α -smooth muscle actin marker (α–SMA) in mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) in comparison with pleomorphic adenoma (PA)and study the amount presence of t...
متن کاملRegulation of airway smooth muscle -actin expression by glucocorticoids
Goldsmith AM, Hershenson MB, Wolbert MP, Bentley JK. Regulation of airway smooth muscle -actin expression by glucocorticoids. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 292: L99–L106, 2007. First published September 15, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajplung.00269.2006.—Airway smooth muscle hypertrophy appears to be present in severe asthma. However, the effect of corticosteroids on airway smooth muscle cell size o...
متن کاملCaffeine relaxes smooth muscle through actin depolymerization.
Caffeine is sometimes used in cell physiological studies to release internally stored Ca(2+). We obtained evidence that caffeine may also act through a different mechanism that has not been previously described and sought to examine this in greater detail. We ruled out a role for phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition, since the effect was 1) not reversed by inhibiting PKA or adenylate cyclase; 2) ...
