## Abstract The growth of cultured calf aortic smooth muscle cells on cardiovascular biomaterials was investigated, using native and oxidized polyacrylonitrile (orlon) fabrics, dacron velour, and ParyleneβC coated polypropylene microfabric as substrates. By light microscopic evaluation, surface cel

Palytoxin (PTX), isolated from a zoanthid of the genus Palythoa, is the most potent marine toxin known. Intoxication by PTX leads to vasoconstriction, hemorrhage, ataxia, muscle weakness, ventricular fibrillation, pulmonary hypertension, ischemia and death. In this study, clonal A7r5 rat aortic smoo
After cardiovascular intervention, smooth muscle cells (SMC) are directly exposed to blood flow and thus their behavior might be affected by fluid hemodynamic forces. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fluid shear stress on the growth rate of SMC. Human aortic smooth muscle cells (
Angiotensin peptides (Al, All, Alll) increased the rate of Na+ accumulation by smooth muscle cells (SMC) cultured from rat aorta. The stimulatory effect of All on Na+ uptake was observed when N a + exodus via the Na+/K+ pump was blocked either by ouabain or by the removal of extracellular K + . All
We have examined the ability of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to regulate prostacyclin production by cultured A10 smooth muscle cells. EGF by itself had no effect on prostacyclin production, but it augmented the response to arg8-vasopressin. An AGF stimulation of prostacyclin production was also obs
Multiple growth factors that circulate in plasma have been shown to stimulate cellular growth in vitro. The plasma growth factors appear to stimulate DNA synthesis in cultured fibroblasts only after prior exposure of cell growth factors derived from circulating cell types, such as platelets and macr
