Protein kinase C and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase are expressed in all smooth muscle cells and believed to be important in several physiologically relevant properties of this muscle. Our goal was to determine if protein kinase C and MAP kinase are activated by a simple increase in cellular
Our previous studies showed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in cardiovascular tissues is attenuated by protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors. In the current study, we identify a specific PKC isotype involved in the LPS signal transduction pathway that leads to NO format
In the rat isolated main pulmonary artery, we investigated the effect of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (genistein) and that of a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor (phenylarsine oxide) on agonist-induced contraction. Genistein (10 microM) reduced the amplitude of the contraction evoked by noradrenaline (0
## Abstract It has been shown that rat aortic smooth muscle cells (AoSMCs) lost PKGโI expression when propagated repetitively or grown at low densities. Conversely, AoSMCs isolated from PKGโI deficient mice are indistinguishable from those isolated from normal mice in morphology and growth characte
