Antigen - presentation by vascular endothelium : its role for CTL - mediated vascular injury [PDF]

, 2008
Background: EC express and present MHC class I restricted peptide antigens and due to the exposed position may be targeted by antigen-specific CTL. We wished to explore the type of vascular injury that is mediated by peptidespecific CTL in vivo when EC ...

Natriuretic peptide receptor-C regulates coronary blood flow and prevents myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury: novel cardioprotective role for endothelium-derived C-type natriuretic peptide [PDF]

, 2004
Background: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury complicates myocardial infarction and stroke by exacerbating tissue damage and increasing risk of mortality.

Impact of low birth weight and cardiovascular risk factors on endothelial function in early adult life [PDF]

, 2001
Background: Low birth weight is related to increased risk of coronary heart disease in adults and recently has been associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction in children.

Contributions of the Endothelium to Vascular Calcification [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Vascular calcification (VC) increases morbidity and mortality and constitutes a significant obstacle during percutaneous interventions and surgeries. On a cellular and molecular level, VC is a highly regulated process that involves abnormal cell transitions and osteogenic differentiation, re-purposing of signaling pathways normally used in bone, and ...

Hemodynamic regulation of metalloendopeptidases EC3.4; 24.15 and EC3.4; 24.16: expression and function in the vascular endothelium [PDF]

, 2005
Hemodynamic forces, namely shear stress and cyclic strain, have been well characterised as modulators of vascular endothelial function, and have been assigned an important role in the maintainence of vascular tone, haemostasis, and regulation of vascular

New Molecular Mechanisms for Cardiovascular Disease: Contribution of Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor in the Regulation of Vasoconstriction in Peripheral Resistance Arteries

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: Endothelium regulates vascular tone via release of endothelium-derived relaxing factors (EDRF) including nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF).

Glu298Asp endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism interacts with environmental and dietary factors to influence endothelial function [PDF]

, 2002
An endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphism (Glu298Asp) has been associated with cardiovascular disease. We investigated whether carriage of the polymorphism was associated with functional changes in the endothelium, and how genotype ...

Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Factor–Mediated Vasodilation in Mouse Mesenteric Vascular Beds

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
The endothelium in rat mesenteric vascular beds has been demonstrated to regulate vascular tone by releasing mainly endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), which is involved in the activation of K+ channels and gap-junctions.

Effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein, lipid mediators and statins on vascular cell interactions [PDF]

, 1999
The integrin heterodimer CD11b/CD18 (alpha M beta 2, Mac-1, CR3) expressed on monocytes or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) is a receptor for iC3b, fibrinogen, heparin, and for intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 on endothelium, crucially ...
