Abstract:
:The media of most blood vessels is occupied by vascular smooth muscle cells. In areas they may be replaced by glomus cells, pericytes or renin-secreting myoepithelioid cells. These cells may be regarded as phenotypic variants of vascular smooth muscle cells. In disease, ordinary vascular smooth muscle cells may also assume a spectrum of phenotypes ranging from contractile to largely secretory types. Therefore, the phenotype of smooth muscle cells that is involved in a disease process such as hypertension or one of its complications is likely to affect the structural outcome in blood vessels.
