The microcirculation serves crucial functions in adult heart that are distinct from those carried out by epicardial vessels. Microvessels are also governed by unique regulatory mechanisms, impairment of which leads to microvessel-specific pathology. While great progress has been made in understandin...

SMCs must undergo specialzed patterning during blood vessel stabilization. We used microarray analysis to identify differentially expressed genes as smooth muscle cells were induced to assemble into a network of elongated cords. Two time points (Day 0 and Day 8) and three biological replicates for e...

Function and integrity of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) is crucial for brain homeostasis, and its malfunction critically contributes to neurovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, including cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), a common cause of stroke and vascular dementia. So far, mechanistic st...

Arachidonic acid metabolites epoxyeicosatrienoates (EETs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoates (HETEs) are important regulators of myocardial blood flow and coronary vascular resistance (CVR), but their mechanisms of action are not fully understood. We identified G protein-coupled receptor 39 (GPR39) as a ...

miRNA profiling of mouse tail artery explanted microvascular smooth muscle (mVSM) cells comparing Rap1a -/- mVSM cells trasduced with vector backbone (control) with Rap1a -/- mVSM cells transduced with a Rap1 CA 'rescue' plasmid. The experiment will compare miRNA expression in Rap1A -/- mVSMs and '...

Transcriptional profiling of mouse tail artery explanted microvascular smooth muscle (mVSM) cells comparing Rap1a -/- mVSM cells transduced with vector backbone (control) with Rap1a -/- mVSM cells transduced with a Rap1 CA 'rescue' plasmid. The experiment will compare mRNA expression in Rap1A -/- mV...

Microvascular smooth muscle cells exhibit divergent phenotypic switching responses to platelet-derived growth factor and insulin-like growth factor 1
Integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is critical for brain homeostasis, and its malfunction contributes to neurovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. So far, mechanistic studies on BBB function have been mostly conducted in rodent and non-physiological in vitro models, which recapitulate s...

Pharmacological activation of the transcription factor PPAR gamma lowers blood pressure and improves glucose tolerance in humans. In contrast, naturally occurring mutations (e.g., P467L, V290M) in the ligand binding domain of PPAR gamma in humans leads to severe insulin resistance and early-onset h...
