摘 要:GPCR are the most important receptors in cardiovascular physiology and pathology and the target of many cardiovascular drugs. In our investigation of the agents regulating proteoglycan synthesis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) we have investigated various GPCR agonists. Cultured VSMCS respond poorly to angiotensin II so we have concentrated on thrombin and endothelin‑1. Thrombin and endothelin‑1 stimulate proteoglycan synthesis in VSMCs and we have described the relevant signaling pathways. In very recent work we have discovered a new GPCR signaling pathway whose impact almost certainly extends beyond proteoglycan synthesis and initial data will be presented on this novel pathway.
