Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a neuropeptide present around vasculature very early during development, when smooth muscle cells (SMC) are still proliferating and not yet totally differentiated. We investigated the effects of CGRP on proliferation and differentiation of SMC in culture; 10(-7) M CGRP added in the medium of cultured smooth muscle cells every 2 days did not significantly changed cells growth rate in 1% FCS. At the opposite, this treatment modulated proliferation of cells grown in 10% FCS medium. Two distinct populations of SMC with different growth rates were obtained from our primary cultures. SMC which proliferated slowly in the presence of 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) had growth rates positively influenced by CGRP. The quantity of alpha-smooth actin expressed by these cells was not influenced by the peptide. On the contrary, SMC which proliferated more rapidly in 10% FCS medium had growth rate inhibited by CGRP. In these cells, CGRP significantly reduced the amount of expressed alpha-smooth actin, an index of SMC differentiation. In both cases, the peptide significantly increased the level of mRNA for all the actin genes. In the light of this dual role of CGRP, it can be presumed that this peptide controls smooth muscle cells proliferation and differentiation in vivo and could thus regulate the homeostasis of the vessel wall.
