HA1077 is a newly synthesized vasodilator with unique intracellular calcium antagonistic action. In this study, its effect on the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) stimulated by fetal calf serum was examined. Both the proliferation and [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA of the growth-arrested VSMC was dose-dependently inhibited by HA1077. The expression of a proto-oncogene, c-fos, which reached the maximum 30 min after addition of serum, was similarly inhibited by this agent in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, HA1077 is expected to be a useful vasodilator agent capable of suppressing the growth of VSMC which is thought to be an important underlying mechanism of atherosclerosis or restenosis after angioplasty.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016762 Genes, fos Retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (fos) originally isolated from the Finkel-Biskis-Jinkins (FBJ-MSV) and Finkel-Biskis-Reilly (FBR-MSV) murine sarcoma viruses. The proto-oncogene protein c-fos codes for a nuclear protein which is involved in growth-related transcriptional control. The insertion of c-fos into FBJ-MSV or FBR-MSV induces osteogenic sarcomas in mice. The human c-fos gene is located at 14q21-31 on the long arm of chromosome 14. c-fos Genes,fos Genes,v-fos Genes,c-fos Proto-Oncogenes,v-fos Oncogenes,c fos Genes,c fos Proto Oncogenes,c-fos Gene,c-fos Proto-Oncogene,fos Gene,v fos Genes,v fos Oncogenes,v-fos Gene,v-fos Oncogene
