(Disease Progression...) :
Finally, we showed that inhibition of ROCK activity suppresses SMC TN-C expression and disease progression in hypertensive rat PAs
Patel et al., Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 2007
:
To examine the molecular bases for the myogenic tone in the IAS, the present studies focused on the role of RhoA/ROCK in the SMC isolated from the IAS vs. the adjoining phasic tissues of the rectal smooth muscle ( RSM ) and anococcygeus smooth muscle ( ASM ) of rat
Li et al., Zhonghua Xin Xue Guan Bing Za Zhi 2011
(Hypertension, Pulmonary) :
Rosuvastatin also inhibited PCNA expression of SMC ( P < 0.01 ), restored eNOS expression of EC ( P < 0.05 ) and inhibited ROCK-1 mRNA expressions in lung tissue ( P < 0.05 )
