Glucose transport in response to angiotensin II (AII) was assessed in cultured vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells by measuring the uptake of [ 3 H]-2-deoxyglucose, a radiolabeled non-metabolizable glucose analog. Significant stimulation occurred by 2 hr of exposure with the maximum effect being obse

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
## Abstract We investigated whether vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC)βderived from human produce angiotensin (Ang) II upon change from the contractile phenotype to the synthetic phenotype by incubation with fibronectin (FN). Expression of Ξ±βsmooth muscle (SM) actin, apparent in the contractile ph
## 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
## Abstract Little is known about the interaction of tumor cells with host vascular smooth muscle cells. In reconstitution experiments, tumorigenic cell lines (including the rat hepatocarcinoma Morris 7777 and human melanoma Mβ21) were cultured for 17 hr in the presence of rat aortic rings, subsequ
