Heparin and heparan are potent inhibitors of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. To investigate the mechanisms by which heparin suppresses growth factor stimulated mitogenesis, the present experiments investigated the effects of heparin on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulat
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
Recently we reported a novel means of regulating LIM domain protein function. Paxillin LIM zinc-finger phosphorylation in response to cell adhesion regulates the subcellular localization of this cytoskeletal adaptor protein to focal adhesions, and also modulates cell adhesion to fibronectin (Brown e
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
