Reoxygenation of hypoxic coronary smooth muscle cells amplifies growth-retarding effects of ionizing irradiation
Hypoxic coronary smooth muscle cells (HCSMCs) are potential targets for brachytherapy to prevent restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. It is unclear whether gene expression, apoptosis rate and production of reactive oxygen species of these cells undergoing alpha-irradiation are …

Coronary artery disease in metabolic syndrome: a role for the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death among Americans and is fueled by underlying metabolic syndrome (MetS). The prevalence and lethality of CAD necessitates rigorous investigations into its underlying mechanisms and to facilitate the development of effective treatment options. …

DEVELOPMENT OF LASER MICRO-FABRICATED SURFACES TO ACCELERATE & ENHANCE ENDOTHELIAL CELL ADHESION AND PROLIFERATION
… proliferation. The response of BAE-1 and human coronary smooth muscle cells (HCASMCs) were studied, including cell adhesion, proliferation, β-actin expression, migration velocity, and migration directionality. The laser used in these experiments was a SPI infrared solid state fibre laser. By …

BNC1 Regulates Human Epicardial Heterogeneity and Function
… epicardial cells migrate into myocardium, form coronary smooth muscle cells and cardiac fibroblasts, and instruct cardiomyocytes to proliferate and mature. Adult mammalian epicardium is quiescent, but reactivates post-injury with limited effect. However, in zebrafish and in neonatal mouse, …

Potential influence of blueberry and black raspberry pomace phenolics on inflammatory cytokines in coronary cells
Elevated free fatty acids (FFAs) in obesity are known risk factors associated with chronic inflammatory conditions including cardiovascular inflammation and thus cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the US. Anthocyanins from berries have the potential to provide protection …
