Smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic switching from a contractile to a synthetic state is implicated in diverse vascular pathologies, including neointimal formation. This study was designed to identify lncRNAs that may play a role in vascular pathologies. Primary smooth muscle cells cultured from sur...

Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) and zipper-interacting protein kinase (ZIPK) have been implicated in diverse physiological functions, including smooth muscle contraction, cell proliferation, cell adhesion, apoptosis, cell migration and inflammation. Many aspects of regulation via ROCK and ZIPK, however...

To explore global molecular changes in smooth muscle in response to PDGFR activation, primary human bladder smooth muscle cells were treated with 1 nM PDGF-BB (hereafter PDGF) for 0, 4 or 24 h. Total RNA were prepared, and analyzed using expression profiling, and subjected to bioinformatic and funct...

Background: Increased proliferation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells leading to hyperplasia and increased ASM mass is one of the most characteristic features of airway remodelling in asthma. A bioactive lipid, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), has been suggested to affect airway remodelling by stimu...

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) respond to biomechanical stretch with specific changes in gene expression which govern the phenotype of these cells. The mechanotransducer zyxin is a potential candidate for regulating the expression of such genes. Using microarrays, we compared stretch-induced ...

Hypothesis: Overexpression of the GLUT1 facilitative glucose transporter, in A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells, is sufficient and/or necessary to induce alterations in gene expression which influence apoptosis, growth, and proliferation. Experiment Overall Design: Scientific Approach: A7r5 rat emb...

The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of cyclic stretch-relaxation ("stretch") on gene expression patterns in normal diploid human bladder smooth muscle cells. Cells plated on silicone elastomer bottomed 6-well culture dishes were grown to ~80% confluence, serum-depleted for 48h and ...

Data from ProteomeXchange, PXD ID: PXD000624. File: WY_R103.mzml. Published as part of Cell Commun Signal. 2014 Aug 1;12(1):44 . From the Abstract: {{i}} ... Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) has been implicated in the proliferation, migration and synthetic activities of smooth muscle cel...

We used microarrays to determine if miRNA expression in human airway smooth muscle cells is altered by a pro-inflammatory stimulus. A majority of the miRNAs on the array exhibited very low signal intensity. In ASM cells exposed to IL-1β, TNFα, and IFNγ, none of the miRNA expressed were signific...

Rationale: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease. The most common medications used for its treatment are β2-agonists and glucocorticosteroids, and one of the primary tissues that these drugs target in the treatment of asthma is the airway smooth muscle. We used RNA-Seq to characterize the ...
