Microvesicles derived from dermal myofibroblasts modify the integrity of the blood and lymphatic barriers using distinct endocytosis pathways

Journal of Extracellular Biology
Microvesicles (MVs) are a subtype of extracellular vesicles that can transfer biological information from their producer cells to target cells. This communication can in turn affect both normal and pathological processes.

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

T-cadherin signaling in endothelial cells [PDF]

, 2007
The cadherin superfamily comprises transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate calciumdependent homophilic cell-cell adhesion. In addition to their pivotal role in mechanical adhesion between cells, cadherins have multiple functions in tissue ...

Blood‐based proteomic profiling reveals context‐dependent changes in BCL2‐associated signaling during taxane therapy in breast cancer patients

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy side effects significantly impact cancer survivors' quality of life. Using protein levels in blood samples from breast cancer patients before and after 12 weeks of taxane treatment, we detected treatment‐dependent changes in calcium signaling and aging pathways associated with cancer recurrence.

Shear Stress Induces the Release of an Endothelial Elastase: Role in Integrin alpha(v)beta(3)-Mediated FGF-2 Release [PDF]

, 2011
Background/Aims: Laminar shear stress is an important stimulus in the endothelium-dependent control of vascular tone and of vascular remodeling processes.

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Significance of anti-angiogenic therapy in head and neck cancer—Heterogeneity of tumor endothelium

Japanese Dental Science Review, 2010
Tumor angiogenesis is necessary for solid tumor progression and metastasis. Thus, targeting tumor blood vessels is an important strategy for cancer therapy. Especially, it would give large benefit to head and neck cancer patients if ideal anti-angiogenic

Angiotensin II impairs endothelial function via tyrosine phosphorylation of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase [PDF]

, 2009
Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2) can be activated by angiotensin II (Ang II) and reactive oxygen species. We report that in endothelial cells, Ang II enhances the tyrosine phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in an AT1-, H2O2-, and PYK2-

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Differential Regulation of Lung Endothelial Permeability in Vitro and in Situ

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2014
In the lungs, increased vascular permeability can lead to acute lung injury. Because vascular permeability is regulated primarily by endothelial cells, many researchers have studied endothelial cell monolayers in culture, in order to understand the ...
