Pressure promotes DNA synthesis in rat cultured vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract: High blood pressure is one of the major risk factors for atherosclerosis. In this study, we examined the effects of pressure on cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells. Pressure without shear stress and stretch promotes cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in a pressuredependent manner. Pressure-induced DNA synthesis was inhibited significantly by the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor 2-nitro4-carboxyphenyl-N,N-diphenylcarbamate, the protein kinase C inhibitor H-7, 1-(5-… Show more

“…Our recent results demonstrated that this dose of NCDC arrested the increase in inositol trisphosphate production (24), suggesting efficient blockade of phospholipase C at the concentration used in this study. 30 min later, arteriolar responses to AngII (0.1-0.3 nM) were assessed.…”
