Oleate, not ligands of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products, promotes proliferation of human arterial smooth muscle cells

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis. Diabetes accelerates cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis. Accordingly, diabetes accelerates atherosclerotic lesion progression and increases arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation. We hypothesized that diabetes can exert growth-promoting effects on smooth muscle cells via increased advanced glycation end-products or by dyslipidaemia. Methods. Primary human arterial smooth muscle cells were stimulated with advanced glycation end-products, other ligands of the receptor for advanc… Show more

“…Very recently, it has been shown that RAGE activation is involved in the activation of the TGF--ROCK1 pathway in mouse aortic VSMC 22) . In contrast, several previous studies have shown that cultured VSMC barely expressing RAGE were unable to respond to RAGE ligands 5,23) . We also failed to detect RAGE expression and responses to S100B in our parent A10 cells and primary cultured rat VSMCs (unpublished observation).…”
