Biphasic Effects of Blue Light Irradiation on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Blue light regulates biological function in various cells, such as proliferation, oxidative stress, and cell death. We employed blue light illumination on human umbilical vein endothelial cells utilizing a LED device at 453 nm wavelength and revealed a ...

Lycopene inhibits angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and rat aortic rings [PDF]
Angiogenesis is important for tumour vascularisation and growth, and is therefore a promising target for cancer therapy. The present study reports inhibition ofin vitroangiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as well as in rat ...

cMet and fas receptor interaction inhibits death-inducing signaling complex formation in endothelial cells [PDF]
Fas receptor is constitutively expressed on endothelial cells; however, these cells are highly resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis. In this study, we examined death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation in endothelial cells after Fas receptor ...

Expression of mRNA for phospholipase A(2), cyclooxygenases, and lipoxygenases in cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and in biopsies from umbilical arteries and veins [PDF]
Arachidonic acid (AA) is released by phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and then converted into vasoactive and inflammatory eicosanoids by cyclooxygenases (COX) and lipoxygenases (LOX).

Heart of glass anchors Rasip1 at endothelial cell-cell junctions to support vascular integrity. [PDF]
Heart of Glass (HEG1), a transmembrane receptor, and Rasip1, an endothelial-specific Rap1-binding protein, are both essential for cardiovascular development.

Regulation of Thrombin Receptors on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Activated thrombin receptors on human umbilical vein endothelial cells rapidly undergo homologous desensitization, leaving the cells unable to respond to thrombin. The present studies examine the fate of activated thrombin receptors on endothelial cells and the mechanisms that restore intact receptors to the cell surface.

C5a-Induced Gene Expression in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells [PDF]
The endothelium plays a critical role in the inflammatory process. The complement activation product, C5a, is known to have proinflammatory effects on the endothelium, but the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We have used cDNA microarray analysis to assess gene expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) that were stimulated with ...
