Changes in Gastric Smooth Muscle Cell Contraction during Pregnancy: Effect of Estrogen by Othman A. Al-Shboul, Hanan J. Al-Rshoud, Ahmed N. Al-Dwairi, Mohammad A. Alqudah, Mahmoud A. Alfaqih, Ayman G. Mustafa, Mohammad Jaafar

“…The aim of the current study was to explore the changes in the expression of estrogen receptors (ERs) and examine the effect of estrogen on nitric oxide- (NO-) cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway and thus relaxation in gastric smooth muscle cells (GSMC) during pregnancy. Single GSMC from early-pregnant and late-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were used. …”

Research progress in the regulation of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells using a micro–nanostructure by Songhao Liu, Juan Yan, Mengyu Gao, Hongxia Yang

“…Fortunately, with the discovery and exploration of micro–nanostructures that can regulate cells selectively, reducing the incidence of "intravascular restenosis" and achieving rapid endothelialization simultaneously are possible through a special structure that cannot only improve endothelial cells (ECs), but also inhibit smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Therefore, this paper mainly introduces the preparation methods of micro–nanostructures used in the past, as well as the detection methods of EC and SMC. …”

Endothelial cell Piezo1 promotes vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation on large arteries by Javier Abello, Ying Yin, Yonghui Zhao, Josh Maurer, Jihui Lee, Cherokee Bodell, Jahmiera Richee, Abigail J. Clevenger, Zarek Burton, Megan E. Goeckel, Michelle Lin, Stephanie Grainger, Carmen M. Halabi, Shreya A. Raghavan, Rajan Sah, Amber N. Stratman

“…Here, we demonstrate the involvement of the mechanosensitive ion channel, Piezo1, in promoting arterial accumulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) during zebrafish development. Using a series of small molecule antagonists or agonists to temporally regulate Piezo1 activity, we identified a role for the Piezo1 channel in regulating klf2a, a blood flow responsive transcription factor, expression levels and altered targeting of vSMCs between arteries and veins. …”
