… Aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) have been proposed to … aorta, and that SMCs later
migrate to the dorsal side. In this study, we investigate the origin of SMCs in the descending aorta …

… of endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC) are very important. The mouse
is a critical model for research, however, the isolation of primary EC from murine aorta is …

… In summary, we have characterized the phenotypic changes associated with mouse aortic
SMC foam-cell formation at the protein and molecular level. These cells became macrophage-…

… of vascular smooth muscle cells is … muscle cells (SMC) derived from the aortas of young (4
mo old) and aged (16 mo old) mice to understand the phenotypic modulation of these cells as …

… Results: Using a parallel-plate flow chamber, we observed that PCSK9 expression in
vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) reached maximal value at low …

… cells may be usable beyond passage 6 but we recommend assessing the smooth muscle
cell phenotype of higher passage cells … by expression of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain, …

… Here, we show that mouse aorta SMC stimulated with TNF/α-LTβR differentiate into a
phenotype that strikingly resembles LTO. The LTO phenotype resulted from cross-talk of the …

… The ultrastructural development and organization of connections between smooth muscle
cells and elastic laminae in the mouse aortic media were studied by light and electron …

… Furthermore, it is important to note that relaxation by ACh in the mouse aorta was absent with
NOS inhibition, thus confirming that ACh-induced relaxation is exclusively mediated by NO, …

… macrophages, ECs and SMCs in mouse aortic atherosclerotic plaques using cell type-specific
markers. In … Here we outline the protocol for CD68 staining of frozen mouse aortic sections. …
