Abstract

The increased potential for growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a key abnormality in the development of atherosclerosis and postangioplasty restenosis. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB is a potent mitogen for VSMCs that plays an important role in the intimal accumulation of VSMCs. This study examined the effect of JM91, a newly synthesized indoledione derivative, on the proliferation of PDGF-BB-stimulated rat aortic VSMCs. The antiproliferative effect of JM91 on rat aortic VSMCs was examined by cell counting and [(3)H]thymidine incorporation assay. The pre-incubation of JM91 (0.5-3.0 microM) significantly inhibited the proliferation and DNA synthesis of 25 ng/mL PDGF-BB-stimulated rat aortic VSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner. JM91 inhibited the PDGF-BB-stimulated phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and Akt kinase, while had no effect on PLCgamma1 and PDGF-Rbeta activation. In addition, treatment with JM91 (0.5-3.0 microM) induced cell-cycle arrest in the G(1) phase, which was associated with the down-regulation of cyclins and CDKs. These findings suggest that the inhibitory effects of JM91 against proliferation, DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression of PDGF-BB-s...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.
