Embryonic data and ultrastructural analyses suggest that the primitive endothelium signals undifferentiated mesenchymal cells to migrate to the forming blood vessel and subsequently regulates mural cell growth and behavior. Upon maturation of the blood vessel, chemotactic and mitogenic signals are a

Extracellular proteoglycans (PGs) purified from cultured human arterial endothelial cells were tested for their effects on the proliferation of human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Fractions containing perlecan, the basement membrane heparan sulphate (HS) PG, the large chondrotin sulphate (CS)
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been typically considered to be an endothelial-specific growth factor. However, it was recently demonstrated that VEGF can interact with non endothelial cells. In this study, we tested whether vascular smooth muscles cells (VSMCs) can express VEGF recept
The role of nutrient supply in the replicative capacity and secretory phenotype of cultured human diploid cells is unclear. We examined the relationship between amino acid privation, the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and growth phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC
