Angiotensin II AT1 receptor internalization, translocation and de novo synthesis modulate cytosolic and nuclear calcium in human vascular smooth muscle cells حسب Sleiman, S.

"…The present study was designed to verify if human (h) Angiotensin II (Ang II) type-1 receptor (hAT1R) undergoes internalization, nuclear translocation, and de novo synthesis in primary culture of human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMCs) and if overexpression of this receptor modulates sustained free cytosolic ([Ca]c) and nuclear ([Ca]n) calcium. 3-dimensional (3-D) confocal microscopy was used to monitor free intracellular Ca2+ and hAT1R-green fluorescence protein (GFP) fusion protein in cultured hVSMCs. …"
