NADPH Oxidase 4: Crucial for Endothelial Function under Hypoxia—Complementing Prostacyclin

open access: yesAntioxidants
Aim: The primary endothelial NADPH oxidase isoform 4 (NOX4) is notably induced during hypoxia, with emerging evidence suggesting its vasoprotective role through H2O2 production. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate NOX4′s significance in endothelial function

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

The vascular endothelium

open access: yesAnales de la Facultad de Medicina, 2014
Over the last 40 years, research on the vascular endothelium has provided important clues for the understanding of vascular disease. This new knowledge is finding its way into clinical medicine.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Comparison of Endothelium-Related Responses to Nucleotides of Dog and Monkey Cerebral Arteries

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
We compared mechanical responses to uridine-5′triphosphate (UTP) and 2-(methylthio)adenosine-5′diphosphate (2MeSADP) of cerebral arteries isolated from dogs and monkeys. In the dog, UTP induced endothelium-independent contraction, whereas 2MeSADP induced

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...

Proteomic profiling links complement activation to thrombosis in JAK2V617F myeloproliferative neoplasms

open access: yesTranslational Oncology
Background: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are associated with a high risk of thrombotic complications, particularly splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT).

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

The Role of NOX2-Derived Reactive Oxygen Species in the Induction of Endothelin-Converting Enzyme-1 by Angiotensin II

open access: yesAntioxidants
Endothelin-1 is a key regulator of vascular tone and blood pressure in health and disease. We have recently found that ET-1 production in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) can be promoted by angiotensin II (Ang II) through a novel mechanism ...

Embryonic Stem Cell-like Population within Venous Malformation Expresses the Renin–Angiotensin System

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2019
Background:. We have recently demonstrated the presence of a NANOG+/pSTAT3+/OCT4+/SOX2+/SALL4+/CD44+ embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like subpopulation localized to the endothelium and a NANOG+/pSTAT3+/SOX2+/CD44+ subpopulation outside of the endothelium ...
