Osei-Owusu Lab publishes Phosphodiesterases Mediate the Augmentation of Myogenic Constriction by Inhibitory G Protein Signaling and is Negatively Modulated by the Dual Action of RGS2 and 5

G protein regulation by regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins play a key role in vascular tone maintenance. The loss of G_i/o and G_q/11 regulation by RGS2 and RGS5 in non-pregnant mice is implicated in augmented vascular tone and decreased uterine blood flow (UBF). RGS2 and 5 are closely related and co-expressed in uterine arteries (UA).

Congratulations to Dr. Osei-Owusu's joint paper on Mitochondrial fission inhibition protects against hypertension induced by angiotensin II

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in various types of cardiovascular disease including hypertension. Mitochondrial fission fusion balance is critical to mitochondrial quality control, whereas enhanced fission has been reported in several models of cardiovascular disease.
