PFKFB3 Inhibits Fructose Metabolism in Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells. [PDF]
Abstract Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells contribute to the integrity of the lung gas exchange interface, and they are highly glycolytic. Although glucose and fructose represent discrete substrates available for glycolysis, pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells prefer glucose over fructose, and the mechanisms involved in ...

Method for the Culture of Mouse Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells
Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) are integral to the alveoli-capillary barrier of the lung. The EC barrier integrity is known to be disrupted in severe lung diseases such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia and pulmonary edema.

LRG1 promotes the apoptosis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells through KLK10 in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Introduction Cigarette smoking is one of the most important causes of COPD and could induce the apoptosis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs). The conditional knockout of LRG1 from endothelial cells reduced emphysema in mice.

CircALMS1 Alleviates Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cell Dysfunction in Pulmonary Hypertension
Background Circular RNAs can serve as regulators influencing the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, their function in pulmonary vascular intimal injury remains undefined. Thus, we aimed to identify specifically expressed circular RNAs in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMECs) under hypoxia and PH.

Human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells respond to DAMPs from injured renal tubular cells [PDF]
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes distant organ dysfunction through yet unknown mechanisms, leading to multiorgan failure and death. The lungs are one of the most common extrarenal organs affected by AKI, and combined lung and kidney injury has a ...

Acod1/itaconate activates Nrf2 in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells to protect against the obesity-induced pulmonary microvascular endotheliopathy. [PDF]
Abstract Background Obesity is the main risk factor leading to the development of various respiratory diseases, such as asthma and pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) play a significant role in the development of lung diseases.
