Activation of thromboxane A2 receptors mediates endothelial dysfunction in diabetic mice

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2017
Background: Diabetes is one of high-risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Improvement of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes reduces vascular complications. However, the underlying mechanism needs to be uncovered. This study was conducted to elucidate

Tetrahydrobiopterin analogues with NO-dependent pulmonary vasodilator properties [PDF]

, 2011
Reduced NO levels due to the deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) contribute to impaired vasodilation in pulmonary hypertension Due to the chemically unstable nature of BH4 it was hypothesised that oxidatively stable analogues of BR, would be able to ...

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Elevated DDX3X expression led to downregulation of BMPR2, a key regulator of endothelial homeostasis and function. Our co‐immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated a molecular interaction between DDX3X and BMPR2. Notably, DDX3X promoted lysosomal degradation of BMPR2, thereby impairing its downstream signaling and facilitating endothelial‐to ...

Effect of diet-induced obesity on protein expression in insulin signalling pathways of skeletal muscle in male Wistar rats [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diet-induced obesity is increasing globally, and posing significant health problems for millions of people worldwide. Diet-induced obesity is a major contributor to the global pandemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Targeting Adipose Tissue Function Protects Against Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the role adipose tissue (AT) phenotypes have in determining cardiovascular outcomes in an obesity‐related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) model. Pharmacological induction of thermogenesis promoted resilience to HFpEF‐induced remodeling of AT and conferred cardioprotection. Surgical and genetic models confirmed

CT-1 induces angiogenesis by regulating the ADMA/DDAH Pathway

Biomedical Papers, 2015
Background. Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), a member of the IL-6 superfamily, is elevated in the serum of patients with ischemic and valvular heart disease. In this study, we hypothesized that CT-1 induces endothelial cell angiogenesis and that the ADMA/DDAH ...

Single‐Cell Metabolic Imaging Reveals Glycogen‐Driven Adaptations in Endothelial Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell metabolic imaging of diabetes‐associated endothelial dysfunction by SRS microscopy reveals dynamic glycogen storage and its role in modulating metabolic adaptations under glucose starvation. Abstract Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a defining feature of diabetes mellitus (DM) and a key contributor to many metabolic and cardiovascular ...
