Double-Stranded RNA Attenuates the Barrier Function of Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Circulating RNA may result from excessive cell damage or acute viral infection and can interact with vascular endothelial cells. Despite the obvious clinical implications associated with the presence of circulating RNA, its pathological effects on ...

Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and their metabolites: a potential targeted therapy for pulmonary hypertension. [PDF]
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive and life-threatening cardiopulmonary disease that is not uncommon. The modulation of the pulmonary artery (PA) involves various fatty acids, including omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-6 PUFAs) and ω-6 ...

MicroRNA410 Inhibits Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling via Regulation of Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase [PDF]
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) upregulation in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (hPAECs) is associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) progression and pulmonary vascular remodeling.

Claudin-2 enhances human antibody-mediated complement-dependent cytotoxicity of porcine endothelial cells by modulating antibody binding and complement activation. [PDF]
Background Immune rejection represents a significant barrier to transplantation, especially in the context of xenotransplantation. Endothelial cells (ECs) derived from pigs serve as the initial barrier against the human immune system in ...

Hypoxia Upregulates Estrogen Receptor β in Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells in a HIF-1α-Dependent Manner [PDF]
17β-Estradiol (E2) attenuates hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH) through estrogen receptor (ER)-dependent effects, including inhibition of hypoxia-induced endothelial cell proliferation; however, the mechanisms responsible for this remain ...
