  • Control of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Growth by Connexin 43 

    Joshi, Chintamani N.; Martin, Danielle N.; Shaver, Patti; Madamanchi, Chaitanya; Muller-Borer, Barbara J.; Tulis, David A. (2012-06)
    Connexin 43 (Cx43), the principal gap junction protein in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), regulates movement of ions and other signaling molecules through gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and plays ...

  • Identification of cytosolic phosphodiesterases in the erythrocyte: A possible role for PDE5 

    Adderley, Shaquria P.; Thuet, Kelly M.; Sridharan, Meera; Bowles, Elizabeth A.; Stephenson, Alan H.; Ellsworth, Mary L.; Sprague, Randy S. (2011)
    Background Within erythrocytes (RBCs), cAMP levels are regulated by phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Increases in cAMP and ATP release associated with activation of β-adrenergic receptors (βARs) and prostacyclin receptors ...

  • Phosphodiesterases Regulate BAY 41-2272-Induced VASP Phosphorylation in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells 

    Adderley, Shaquria P.; Joshi, Chintamani N.; Martin, Danielle N.; Tulis, David Anthony (2012-02)
    BAY 41-2272 (BAY), a stimulator of soluble guanylyl cyclase, increases cyclic nucleotides and inhibits proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In this study, we elucidated mechanisms of action of BAY in its ...
