c-Myb-dependent smooth muscle cell differentiation.
Both in vitro and in vivo studies have implicated the c-Myb transcription factor in vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and hematopoiesis. However, its role in differentiation and maturation of contractile, as opposed to proliferating, SMCs has not been investigated. Here we demonstrate that c-myb(-/-) embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are incapable of producing embryoid bodies (EBs) with...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle cell differentiation-2010
Vascular smooth muscle cells have attracted considerable interest as a model for a flexible program of gene expression. This cell type arises throughout the embryo body plan via poorly understood signaling cascades that direct the expression of transcription factors and microRNAs which, in turn, orchestrate the activation of contractile genes collectively defining this cell lineage. The discove...
متن کامل"FRNKly, smooth muscle, I don't give a CArG!": a novel mechanism for smooth muscle cell differentiation.
Studies spanning the last two decades have begun to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation, specifically the critical role of the ubiquitously expressed serum response factor (SRF) transcription factor. SRF selectively binds to conserved cis-regulatory “CArG box” elements, CC(A/T)6GG consensus sequence, in the promoters or first introns of numerous ...
متن کاملThe mechanism of stem cell differentiation into smooth muscle cells.
Stem cells represent one of the most promising areas in biological and medical research. All stem cells are defined as having two basic properties: unlimited self-renewal and the broad potential to differentiate in vitro, via "progenitor cells", into somatic cells of many tissue types, in which smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation is a complicated and not well defined process. It is known t...
متن کاملRedox regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation.
Experiments were performed to determine the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in regulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype. After quiescence, cultured human VSMCs increased their expression of differentiation proteins (alpha-actin, calponin, and SM1 and SM2 myosin), but not beta-actin. ROS activity, determined using the H(2)O(2)-sensitive probe dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCF)...
