Green fluorescent protein (GFP) color reporter gene visualizes parvovirus B19 non-structural segment 1 (NS1) transfected endothelial modification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Human Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) has been associated with myocarditis putative due to endothelial infection. Whether PVB19 infects endothelial cells and causes a modification of endothelial function and inflammation and, thus, disturbance of ...

Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 mediates endothelial-cardiomyocyte communication and regulates cardiac function. [PDF]
J Am Heart Assoc, 2015 Background Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by impaired contractility of cardiomyocytes, ventricular chamber dilatation, and systolic dysfunction. Although mutations in genes expressed in the cardiomyocyte are the best described causes of reduced contractility, the importance of endothelial‐cardiomyocyte ...

Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 Polymorphism in Patients with Bronchial Asthma
Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2012 Asthma is considered as a chronic inflammatory airway disease and defined as increased tracheobronchial responsiveness to variety of stimuli. Edema and inflammatory cell infiltration in airway is observed in the asthmatic patients.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021 Background Platelet–endothelial interactions are thought to contribute to early atherogenesis. These interactions are potentiated by oxidative stress. We used in vivo molecular imaging to test the hypothesis that platelet–endothelial interactions occur ...

Blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) as a novel tool for studying adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The lack of suitable animal models for the study of cytoadhesion of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs) has necessitated in vitro studies employing a range of cell lines of either human tumour origin (e.g., BeWo and C32 cells) or non-human origin ...

The platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule‐1 (PECAM1) contributes to endothelial barrier function [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1995 In this study we have analyzed the role of the platelet‐endothelial cell adhesion molecule‐1 (PECAM1) in vascular barrier function. PECAM1 is an immunoglobulin gene superfamily member expressed by endothelial cells at the cell boundaries. Macromolecule permeability assays performed on cell monolayers that express native or transfected PECAM1, indicated
