Plasticity of TRPC expression in arterial smooth muscle: correlation with store-operated Ca2+ entry.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Loss of the smooth muscle contractile phenotype is critical in atherosclerosis and in restenosis after angioplasty, but its early signals are incompletely understood. In this study, we have explored the role of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) proteins, which have been suggested to mediate store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Contractility of rat cerebral arteries in organ culture is preserved for several days, whereas SOCE is increased. In correlation with this increase is that nifedipine-insensitive whole cell current, activated by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores, was increased by 50% in cells isolated from arteries cultured for 3 days. TRPC1 and TRPC6 mRNA were more than fivefold increased in cells isolated after organ culture, whereas TRPC3 was decreased. Immunofluorescent staining and/or Western blotting of arteries and isolated cells showed upregulation of TRPC1 and TRPC6 proteins during organ culture. In intact arteries, TRPC4 expression correlated with the amount of endothelium present. Ca2+ addition after store depletion caused a contraction in cultured, but not in freshly dissected, arteries. A polyclonal TRPC1 antibody directed against an extracellular epitope inhibited this contraction by approximately 50%. To investigate the basis of the TRPC upregulation and assess its possible clinical significance, segments of human internal mammary artery were organ cultured for 24 h and then exposed to balloon dilatation in vitro, followed by further culturing for up to 48 h. After dilatation, TRPC1 and TRPC6 mRNA were progressively increased compared with undilated control segments. The results of this study indicate that vascular injury enhances plasticity in TRPC expression, that TRPC expression correlates with cellular Ca2+ handling, and that TRPC1 is a subunit of upregulated store-operated Ca2+ channels.

Art and the Politics of Eliminating Handicraft
- 2019
-
In: Historical Materialism-Research in Critical Marxist Theory. - : Brill. - 1465-4466. ; 27:1, s. 155-181
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This essay charts the outlines of the historical transition from the artisanal workshop to the artist's studio and the transition from the artisan to the artist, not through the transition from patronage to the art market but through an analysis of the transformation of labour's social division of labour. The essay reassesses the discourses on the artist as genius and the artist as worker through a reinterpretation of the elevation of the Fine Arts above handicraft. This sheds new light, also, on the discourse of deskilling in art. This essay argues that the transition from the artisan to the artist is an effect of the social division of labour in which the knowledge, skills and privileges of the master artisan are distributed among a set of specialists.

Art, labour and revolution
- 2016
-
In: Art and the Public Sphere. - 2042-793X. ; 5:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article is a reassessment of the contemporary theory of the convergence of art and politics; the contemporary theory of politics; and the contemporary theory of artistic labour, which converge in a new theory of revolution as turning on the radical transformation of the mode of production with artistic labour occupying a politically significant point within the bourgeois social division of labour.

Art, the Public and the Jacobin Revolution
- 2015
-
In: Local Authority. - Dublin : The Arts Office. - 9780957172197 ; , s. 25-35
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Argues that the relationship between art and public art has its roots in the bourgeois revolution which took art from the aristocracy and made it public. Public art and its recent variants, such as new genre public art and the social turn, cannot be satisfactorily cut off from the history of art's autonomy since both the concept of art and of art's publicness are built into the concept of public art.

Assessing the Concept of Participation in Participatory Art
- 2016
-
In: European Academy of Participation International Conference.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this paper I argued that the discourse on participation in contemporary art merely thematises one half of a relationship between the artist and her publics and therefore not only neglects serious issues about the social status of the artist, but also fails to thematise the issues of participation as the issues of a social relationship between artists and society.
