The effect of anti-tissue antisera on the contractile response of isolated smooth muscle cells from rabbit antrum has been investigated. Anti-stomach (SAE), anti-colon (SAC) and anti-diencephale (SAD) antisera induced a dose-dependent contraction is isolated cells, whereas both non-immune serum and antisera obtained by immunization with other foetal tissues were ineffective. Proglumide, the well known gastrin antagonist, similarly inhibited both gastrin- and SAE, SAC, SAD antisera-induced contraction of isolated smooth muscle cells.

Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumors (EBV-SMTs) represent a rare category of soft tissue tumors that are predominantly seen in individuals with compromised immune systems. Pathologically, EBV-SMT has malignant potential because of its unpredictable nature. These tumors can manifest at various anatomical sites or even multiple lesions in different locations.

The contribution of sex hormones to cardiovascular disease, including arterial stiffness, is established; however, the role of sex chromosome interaction with sex hormones, particularly in women, is lagging. Arterial structural stiffness depends on the intrinsic properties and transmural wall geometry that comprise a network of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins expressed in a sex-dependent manner. In this study, we used four-core genotype (FCG) mice to determine the relative contribution of sex hormones versus sex chromosomes or their interaction with arterial structural stiffness.
