Lately, it has been shown that two Golgi enzymes, chondroitin 4-O-sulfotransferase-1 (C4ST-1) and chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-2 (ChGn-2), regulate the CS chain length in the arterial wall in the course of the progression of atherosclerosis.four For that reason, the pathways controlling the expression and activity of these enzymes may be a novel therapeutic technique for the prevention of atherosclerosis. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is usually a potent vasoconstrictor peptide linked together with the development of atherosclerosis through its actions on all cells on the vasculature.Flavopiridol five The expression of ET-1 and its receptors is up-regulated in vascular cells cultured in vitro and in atherosclerotic human arteries.iBRD4-BD1 Epigenetics 5 Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) express ETA and ETB receptors that these receptors are seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).PMID:23319057 8 ET-1 acting by way of its GPCRs signals a plethora of diverse signalling pathways to activate pro-atherogenic cellular events for instance proliferation, contraction, migration and extracellular matrix production.5,9,ten Cellular signalling by GPCR happens via 3 significant pathways: G protein mediated pathways, signalling mechanisms through -arrestin molecules that form scaffold complexes as well as the transactivation-dependent pathway of GPCR-activated cell surface kinase receptors which result in regulated gene transcription and modifications of cellular function.11 Daub et al. in 1996, described that many GPCR agonists for example thrombin, ET-1 and angiotensin II (Ang II) can mediate the transactivation of protein tyrosine kinase receptors for example the epidermal development aspect receptor (EGFR).12 More recently it has been discovered that GPCRs can also mediate the transactivation of protein serine/threonine kinase receptors such as that for transforming growth issue (TGF)- receptor (TR1).proteoglycan synthesis through Smad linker area that phosphorylated by p38 MAP kinase.19 p38 MAP kinase signalling pathway activated by Reactive oxygen species (ROS) as molecular.
