Vascular smooth muscle cell activation by C-reactive protein.
OBJECTIVE C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important cardiovascular risk factor. Although the role of CRP has been implicated in atherogenesis, its direct effects on vascular cells are poorly defined. METHODS We investigated the responses to CRP in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). RESULTS The present study shows that CRP induces parallel activation of the redox-responsive transcription fa...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 4 signaling mediates inflammatory activation induced by C-reactive protein in vascular smooth muscle cells.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is considered to induce the inflammatory response during atherosclerosis. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated inflammatory signaling has been shown to facilitate atherogenesis. It remains thoroughly unknown whether TLR4 mediates the proinflammatory effect of CRP. Thus, the study was designed to explore TLR4-related mechanism of proinflammatory effect of CRP in rat vasc...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle cell activation by glycated albumin (Amadori adducts).
Nonenzymatic glycation is increased in diabetes. The role of advanced glycation end products has been implicated in many of the complications of diabetes, whereas the effects of early-glycation Amadori-modified proteins on vascular cells alone are poorly defined. In the present study, we show that glycated serum albumin (GSA) induces a parallel activation of the redox-responsive transcription f...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species induce apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cell.
Apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) plays an important role in the genesis of atherosclerosis and restenosis. In order to investigate the role of reactive oxygen species in the induction of VSMC apoptosis, rat VSMCs were treated with glucose oxidase/glucose (GO/G) or diethylmaleate (DEM). The results showed that GO/G and DEM led to VSMC death. Administration of catalase, superoxide ...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species promote vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.
D o reactive oxygen species play a role in the pathogen-esis of cardiovascular diseases? In 1992, Dr Berk and his group published an article that began to answer this question. During the following years, they performed a series of research projects that established the role of re-active oxygen species in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and cardiovascular diseases. It is now widely re...
