Characterization of the NADPH oxidase complex in human leiomyoma and normal myometrial smooth muscle cells and its role in PDGF and EGF signaling pathways
… EGF and PDGF pathways in leiomyoma and normal myometrial SMCs. The main findings of this work were: 1) leiomyoma smooth muscle cells (LSMCs) and myometrial smooth muscle cells (MSMCs) produce ROS in response to EGF and PDGF; 2) ROS are necessary for EGF- and PDGF-induced LSMCs and MSMCs …

The splice variants of TREK-1 act as dominant-negative suppressors of human uterine relaxation: Implications for preterm labor
Human myometrium plays a pivotal role during pregnancy remaining quiescent during fetal development while eventually producing the forceful contractions necessary for parturition. The complex mechanism of maintaining uterine quiescence and triggering contraction is unclear. Spontaneous or …
