Glycosphingolipids of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1987Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) represent an important class of immunogens and receptors. Although cell surface antigens and receptors of endothelial cells (ECs) have been the subject of extensive biochemical investigation, no information is available about their GSLs.

Nicorandil prevents doxorubicin-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell apoptosis
European Journal of Pharmacology, 2019Nicorandil is an adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opener with additional antioxidant properties. Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anticancer drug that exerts oxidation-mediated adverse cardiovascular effects. This study examined the effects of nicorandil on DOX-induced cytotoxicity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and ...

Homocysteine uptake by human umbilical vein endothelial cells in culture
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 1990The characteristics of the uptake of L-homocysteine by cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells have been examined. Uptake occurred by Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)-independent systems, but was essentially independent of the pH of the uptake medium.

Surface glycoproteins of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Cell Biology International Reports, 1985Radioactive surface-specific and metabolic labeling techniques were used to characterize the surface glycoprotein pattern of cultured human endothelial cells. Electrophoretic analysis of whole cells, surface labeled either by the galactose oxidase/sodium borotritide or the periodate/sodium borotritide method, revealed several major polypeptides in the ...

Visualization of human umbilical vein endothelial cells by acoustic microscopy
Ultrasonics, 2000The morphology and acoustic properties of the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were evaluated using a scanning acoustic microscope system. HUVECs were cultured for 4 days and exposed to the endotoxin for 4 h. The frequency of the scanning acoustic microscope was variable between 100 and 210 MHz.

Apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells induced by artesunate
Vascular Pharmacology, 2004Artesunate (ART), a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Artemisia annua, is an effective novel antimalarial drug. The present study investigated the apoptotic activity of artesunate in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) by means of nuclear staining, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, and

Angiogenin Activates Erk1/2 in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2001Angiogenin is a potent angiogenic factor that binds to endothelial cells and is endocytosed and rapidly translocated to the nucleus where it is concentrated in the nucleolus and binds to DNA. Angiogenin also activates cell-associated proteases, induces cell invasion and migration, stimulates cell proliferation, and organizes cultured cells to form ...

Endothelial cells from human umbilical vein secrete functional transcobalamin II
American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1989Transcobalamin II (TCII) is a cobalamin (Cbl) binding protein in the plasma that mediates the cellular uptake of Cbl. Although the synthesis of TCII by a variety of cultured mammalian cells and by some isolated perfused organs has been reported, no single tissue has been identified as the source of TCII in vivo.
