    JAGGED-NOTCH3 Signaling in Vascular Remodeling in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

    The NOTCH ligand DELTA-LIKE 4 was minimally expressed in small pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells from individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension, inhibited NOTCH3 cleavage and signaling, and retarded vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.

    Targeting McOln1/TRPML1 Channels to Protect against Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Restoring the Inhibited Autophagic Flux in Cardiomyocytes

    Researchers discovered that the MCOLN1-mediated inhibition of autophagy induced byischemia-reperfusion impaired mitochondrial function, which resulted in further detrimental reactive oxygen speciesrelease that directly contributed to cardiomyocyte death.

    Abstract

    Stage-Specific Regulation of Signaling Pathways to Differentiate Pluripotent Stem Cells to Cardiomyocytes with Ventricular Lineage

    Differentiation of embryonic bodies resulted in early fetal like non-contractile ventricular cardiomyocytes with an inherent propensity to contract when stimulated.

    A Biosensing System Using a Multiparameter Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Cardiomyocyte Beating for Drug-Induced Arrhythmia Recognition

    The biosensing system cultured cardiomyocytes as physiologically relevant models, used interdigitated electrodes to detect the mechanical beating of the cardiomyocytes, and employed multiparameter nonlinear dynamic algorithm analysis to recognize drug-induced arrhythmia from the cardiomyocyte beating recording.

    Irisin Protects Cardiomyocytes against Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Injury via Attenuating AMPK Mediated Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

    Irisin could efficiently protect cardiomyocytes from hypoxia/reoxygenation-injury via attenuating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and ER stress-induced apoptosis.

    Disheveled Binding Antagonist of β-Catenin 1 Interacted with β-Catenin and Connexin 43 in Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells-Derived Cardiomyocytes

    Investigators used cardiomyocytes derived from human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells to investigate the role of disheveled binding antagonist of β-catenin 1 and its connection with β-catenin and connexin 43.

    AR Cooperates with SMAD4 to Maintain Skeletal Muscle Homeostasis

    The authors found that the presence of an elongated polyQ tract impaired androgen receptor (AR) cooperativity with mothers against decapentaplegic homolog (SMAD4), leading to an inability to mount an effective anti-atrophy gene expression programme in skeletal muscle in response to denervation.

    Peroxynitrous Acid-Modified Extracellular Matrix Alters Gene and Protein Expression in Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells and Induces a Pro-inflammatory Phenotype

    Scientists hypothesized that extracellular matrix modification by peroxynitrite/peroxynitrous acid might drive smooth muscle cells undergoing a phenotypic switch from quiescent/contractile to proliferative/synthetic, and thereby potentially contribute to atherogenesis.

    Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell C-fos Is Critical for Foam Cell Formation and Atherosclerosis

    Researchers investigated whether c-Fos played a role in hyperlipidemia-induced vascular smooth muscle cell-derived foam cell formation and atherosclerosis.

    Abstract

    Acute Elution of TGFβ2 Affects the Smooth Muscle Cells in a Compliance-Matched Vascular Graft

    The authors suggested that transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGFβ2) could modulate in vivo smooth muscle cell phenotype over an acute implantation period,

    MiR-320a Targeting RGS5 Aggravates Atherosclerosis by Promoting Migration and Proliferation of Ox-LDL-Stimulated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

    MiR-320a promoted cell viability, migration, and proliferation while reducing apoptosis of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL)-stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells by inhibiting RGS5.
