Oxidative Stress Levels in Cultured Increases Adrenomedullin mRNA Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the effect of oxidative stress on the expression of adrenomedullin (AM) mRNA in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), using diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), which is known to inhibit endogenous Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) and to increase superoxide (02-). DDC (10 mM) increased 02 levels produced from rat VSMCs in a time-dependent fashion. Concomitantly, DDC increased the expression of AM mRNA for up to 24 h, although it did not affect the expression of j9actin mRNA. Thus, oxidative stress enhanced AM production in rat VSMCs, which may compensate for oxidative-stress-induced vasoconstriction. (Hypertens Res 1998; 21: 187-191)

Objective(s): The study aimed to investigate the effects of adrenomedullin (ADM) and proadrenomedullin N- terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) on angiotensin II (AngII)-stimulated proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Materials and Methods: Thoracic aorta was obtained from Wistar rats and VSMCs were isolated from aorta tissues and then cultured. In vitro cultured VSMCs were stimulated w...
متن کاملEffect of Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein on the Expression of Runx2 and SPARC Genes in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Background: Vascular calcification is an important stage in atherosclerosis. During this stage, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) synthesize many osteogenic factors such as osteonectin (encoded by SPARC). Oxidative stress plays a critical role in atherosclerosis progression, and its accumulation in the vascular wall stimulates the development of atherosclerosis and vascular calcification. The...

Adrenomedullin (AM) is a vasodilator peptide having a wide range of biological actions such as reduction of oxidative stress and inhibition of endothelial cell apoptosis. The AM gene is expressed in vascular walls, and AM was found to be secreted from cultured vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and adventitial fibroblasts. Plasma AM levels in patients with arteriosclerotic vascula...
متن کاملAdrenomedullin inhibits angiotensin II-induced oxidative stress via Csk-mediated inhibition of Src activity.
We have demonstrated that adrenomedullin (AM) protects against angiotensin II (ANG II)-induced cardiovascular damage through the attenuation of increased oxidative stress observed in AM-deficient mice. However, the mechanism(s) that underlie this activity remain unclear. To address this question, we investigated the effect of AM on ANG II-stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in c...

Hydrogen sulfide is a gasotransmitter with vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Aspirin is an irreversible cyclooxygenase inhibitor anti-inflammatory drug. ACS14 is a novel synthetic hydrogen sulfide releasing aspirin which inhibits cyclooxygenase and has antioxidant effects. Methylglyoxal is a chemically active metabolite of glucose and fructose, and a major precursor of advanced gly...
