Differential roles of eNOS in late effects of VEGF-A on hyperpermeability in different types of endothelial cells

Scientific Reports, 2023
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A induces endothelial hyperpermeability, but the molecular pathways remain incompletely understood. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) regulates acute effects of VEGF-A on permeability of endothelial cells (

Receptor interacting protein 3 kinase, not 1 kinase, through MLKL-mediated necroptosis is involved in UVA-induced corneal endothelium cell death

Cell Death Discovery, 2021
Ultraviolet (UV) is one of the most energetic radiations in the solar spectrum that can result in various tissue injury disorders. Previous studies demonstrated that UVA, which represents 95% of incident photovoltaic radiation, induces corneal ...

New Insight on 2D In Vitro Angiogenesis Models: All That Stretches Is Not a Tube

Cells, 2022
A Matrigel-based tube formation assay is a simple and widely accepted 2D angiogenesis model in vitro. Extracellular matrix (EM) proteins and growth factors (GFs) from MatrigelTM exclusively trigger endothelial cell (EC) tubular network (ETN) formation ...

p53 expression as a prognostic marker in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent cancers worldwide with a high mortality. Immunohistochemical overexpression of the p53 protein was correlated with a poor prognosis in various human malignancies, including HCC.

Local photoreceptor cell death differences in the murine model of retinal detachment

Scientific Reports, 2021
To investigate local cell death differences in the attached and detached retina at different regions in a murine experimental retinal detachment model. Subretinal injection of sodium hyaluronate was performed in eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice.

Inhibition of the mitochondrial protein Opa1 curtails breast cancer growth

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2022
Background Mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins have been nominated as druggable targets in cancer. Whether their inhibition is efficacious in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) that almost invariably develops chemoresistance is unknown.

Cancer cell survival depends on collagen uptake into tumor-associated stroma

Nature Communications, 2022
Collagen can be a metabolic source to fuel cancer growth. Here the authors show that cell surface protein TEM8 mediates the binding and uptake of collagen in stromal cells and these cells processed the collagen to glutamine, providing an alternative ...

VEGF dose controls the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in engineered bone

npj Regenerative Medicine, 2023
Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) physiologically regulates both angiogenesis and osteogenesis, but its application in bone tissue engineering led to contradictory outcomes.

Glycolytic regulation of cell rearrangement in angiogenesis

Nature Communications, 2016
Glycolytic regulator PFKFB3 is a key player in vessel sprouting. Here the authors develop a computational model predicting that PFKFB3 drives endothelial cell rearrangement during vessel sprouting by promoting filopodia formation and reducing ...

High mitogenic stimulation arrests angiogenesis

Nature Communications, 2019
High mitogenic stimuli have been suggested to promote endothelial cell proliferation and sprouting during angiogenesis. Here Pontes-Quero et al., by interfering with levels of VEGF and Notch signalling in single endothelial cells in vivo, find that high ...
