Hypertension has a high prevalence among subjects with decreased insulin sensitivity and/or hyperinsulinemia. Furthermore, angiotensin II plays a pivotal role in the regulation of vascular tone and is known to induce hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia in vascular smooth muscle cells. In the present stud

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
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
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and angiotensin II (All) are thought to medi'ite their biological effects in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) by causing alterations in cytosolic free calcium (ICaL-],). In this study we examine the pathways b y which PDGF and All 'ilter l C a L f \ , in VSM
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
## Abstract Lysyl oxidase (LO) plays a critical role in the stabilization and insolubilization of fibrous structural proteins of the extracellular matrix and has been implicated in the suppression of Ras‐induced tumorigenesis. Several prior reports demonstrate that the expression of this catalyst i
