## Abstract Previous work from our laboratory has shown that heparin inhibits the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism of action of this glycosaminoglycan is unknown. In this communication, we have examined the antiproliferative effect of heparin on smoo
We have previously shown that amiloride, an inhibitor of several cell membrane sodium exchangers and channels including Na/H exchange and Na/Ca exchange, inhibits receptor-operated contraction of bovine airway smooth muscle. However, the precise mechanism of action of amiloride is unknown. To evalua
Two important mediators of endothelium-dependent regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone and proliferation are nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET-1). An imbalance between NO and ET-1 may contribute to the alterations in vascular tone characteristic of cardiovascular disease. The objective of thi
Cholesterol oxidase (3 beta-hydroxy-steroid oxidase) catalyzes the oxidation of cholesterol to 4-cholesten-3 one and other oxidized cholesterol derivatives. The purpose of the present study was to investigate its effects on cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. Cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle
The role of ion fluxes in angiotensin II (AII) desensitization (tachyphylaxis) was investigated by studying Na + and Ca 2+ translocation in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells from the rat aorta. The effects of AII were compared to those of [1-sarcosine]-AII (Sarl-AII), an analogue which also indu
