The role of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) in inducing podosomes was examined by confocal and electron microscopy. Removal of myosin from the actin core of podosomes using blebbistatin, a myosin inhibitor, resulted in the formation of smaller podos

Myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) is a multi-domain protein with kinase and actin-binding domains, among others. Deficiency of MLCK expression in GBaSM-4 vascular smooth muscle cells enhanced cell proliferation rate and shortened cell doubling time. T

Abstract.: Previous work has suggested that in addition to its kinase activity, myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) exhibits non-kinase properties within its N-terminus that could influence cytoskeletal organization of smooth muscle cells (A. Nakamura e

Cigarette smoking is one of the factors causing accumulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in atherosclerotic plaques. Changes in cell migration toward platelet-derived growth factor BB were investigated using a Boyden chamber after 48-h pr

The motility of the growth cone, an intracellular apparatus located at the tip of the axon in developing neurons, is thought to govern axonal path-finding and the construction of neuronal networks. Growth cones contain an actin-rich cytoskeleton, and

We prepared a cell-populated collagen-gel fiber including GbaSM-4 cells derived from the basilar artery of guinea pigs. This fiber tended to be a differentiated contractile phenotype in electron-microscope observations. Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (S

GbaSM-4 cells, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from brain basilar arteries, were shown to migrate toward d-nicotine by augmenting the actin cytoskeleton in their cell bodies and lamellipodia, and expression of nicotinic acetylcholine rec

In the isolated rat aorta, a ROCKs (rhoA-dependent coiled coil serine/threonine kinases) inhibitor, Y-27632, inhibited the contractions induced not only by receptor agonists but also by high K+ with the similar IC50 values (0.8 – 4.9 μM). However,

Aim The purpose of the study was to localize matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-14, -9, and -2 in the A7r5 smooth muscle cell and to understand the interaction between these MMPs and the cytoskeleton. This interaction was observed under non-stimulating a
