Thrombin is a potent mitogen for vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). CBP has been regarded as a potential therapeutic target on the basis of its ability to affect cell growth. Therefore we hypothesized that CBP mediates thrombin-induced proliferation of VSMCs. We constructed recombinant adenoviral vector that expresses four short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting rat CBP mRNA (CBP-shRNA/Ad). VSMCs were infected with CBP-shRNA/Ad and treated with thrombin. CBP level were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. To evaluate VSMC proliferation, the cell cycle and DNA synthesis were analyzed by flow cytometry and (3)H-thymidine incorporation, respectively. CBP-shRNA/Ad infection inhibited thrombin-induced CBP expression in a dose-dependent manner concomitant with a decrease in the percentage of cells in the S phase and in DNA synthesis. These findings suggest that CBP plays a pivotal role in the S phase progression of VSMCs.

Mesangial cells offer structural support to the glomerular tuft and regulate glomerular capillary flow through their contractile capabilities. These cells undergo phenotypic changes, such as proliferation and mesangial expansion, resulting in abnormal glomerular tuft formation and reduced capillary loops. Such adaptation to the changing environment is commonly associated with various glomerular diseases, including diabetic nephropathy and glomerulonephritis.

Background/aim: Clotting factors promote cancer development. We investigated if coagulation proteins promote proliferation and migration in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines and whether their direct inhibitors can attenuate these effects.
Materials And Methods: DLD-1 and SW620 cells were treated with tissue factor (0, 50, 100 and 500 pg/mL ± 10 μg/mL 10H10 [anti-tissue factor antibody]), thrombin (0.

We explored the effect of thrombin on human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) and further analyzed its role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). Thrombin-induced differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HASMCs were identified by analyzing expression profiles from the GEO. Subsequently, enrichment analysis, GSEA, PPI network, and gene-microRNAs networks were interrogated to identify hub genes and associated pathways.
