Chronic inflammation is a characteristic feature of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), but the molecular signals responsible for recruiting monocytes into the outer aortic wall are unresolved. The purpose of this study was to examine whether AAA tissues elaborate chemotactic activity

Synthetic elastin peptides, VPGVG or its polymer (VPGVG)n, enhanced the proliferation of smooth muscle cells 1.5-fold during 48 h treatment at the concentrations over 10(-6) M or 1.0 microgram/ml, respectively. Monomeric and polymeric VPGVG sequences reduced elastin synthesis and its

A polyclonal antibody to elastin-derived hexapeptide repeat, H-(Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly)(3)-NH(2), was prepared in order to investigate the differences between elastin fibres in intimal hyperplasia and media in human atheroscleroic lesions. The hexapeptide repeat and alpha-elastin were recognized by this polyclonal antibody in

Extracellular matrix proteins and their proteolytic products have been shown to modulate cell motility. We have found that certain tumor cells display a chemotactic response to degradation products of the matrix protein elastin, and to an elastin-derived peptide, VGVAPG. The
Elastin degradation products induce adventitial angiogenesis in the Anidjar/Dobrin rat aneurysm model.
