| Research Abstract |
BubR1 expression and hAoSMC proliferative ability were significantly decreased in the aged hAoSMC. Angiotensin II and H2O2 upregulated BubR1 expression in young hAoSMC, and the upregulation was abrogated by a p38 MAPK inhibitor or an inhibitor of the NADH/NADPH oxidase. siRNA against BubR1 reduced proliferative activity and increased ROS production in hAoSMC. These findings demonstrate BubR1 mRNA expression decreases along with proliferation in aged hAoSMC. Aging-related loss of BubR1 and subsequent impairment of reactivity to ROS may explain reduced proliferative capacity of aged smooth muscle cells.These findings demonstrate BubR1 mRNA expression decreases along with proliferation in aged hAoSMC.
