Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) undergo cell senescence in a number of diseases, both due to stress and loss of replication. Here we have cultured human VSMCs to replicative senescence, or induced stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS), and compared their transcriptome with cells treated with doxorubicin for 1d or control cells
Project description:The full length of LncVSM transfected into Vascular Smooth Muscle cells to down-regulation for screening differential expression prolifes of LncVSM effecting.The empty vector transfected Vascular Smooth Muscle cells as controls. Eight Samples analyzed.
Project description:In this study, we identified various cell clusters in human normal/sporadic TAA ascending aorta samples by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and discovered the senescent vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) significantly increased in TAA samples. Then we explored the molecular basis of TAA progression, and recognized the key regulators and pathways involved in the TAA progression regulation.

Project description:Folate deficiency promotes differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells, but shifts the overall phenotype towards skeletal muscle
Project description:Crotonylation of histones is discovered of late as one of post-translational modification that can regulate gene expression. However, the function of crotonylation on non-histone proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is unclear. Here, we aim to use modification and proteomic analysis to find the cellular characteristic of crotonylated non-histone proteins and the crosstalk with ubiquitinated proteins in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic remodeling. We performed modification and proteomic analysis of VSMCs before and after stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). The crotonylated and ubiquitinated pan-antibody was used to enrich the protein and then subjected to high-throughput mass spectrometry analysis. The enrichment analysis was performed within differentially modified proteins in regards to GO terms, KEGG and protein domain.
