A preliminary study on the pathogenesis of venous malformations caused by Tie2-L914F mutations in endothelial cells [PDF]
Objective To investigate the effects of TEK receptor tyrosine kinase (Tie2) L914F mutation on the biological behavior of vascular endothelial cells and the changes of related signaling pathways in patients with venous malformations.

Pharmacological Tie2 activation in kidney transplantation [PDF]
To investigate the therapeutic potential of vasculotide (VT) - a Tie2 activating therapeutic - in kidney transplantation.We performed a murine MHC-mismatched renal transplant model (C57Bl/6 male into Balb/c female) with 60 min cold and 30 min warm ischemia time. 500 ng VT was administered i.p. to donor mice 1 h before organ removal.

Characterization of Tie2 signalling during acute inflammation [PDF]
The inflammatory response is essential for the eradication of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) presenting microbial invaders. However, resolution is also important to prevent detrimental vascular inflammation to the host.

Targeting the Tie2/Tek Receptor in Astrocytomas [PDF]
Tie2 is an endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinase, whose activation is positively and negatively modulated by angiopoietin-1 and angiopoietin-2, respectively. Angiopoietin-mediated modulation of Tie2 activation contributes to normal vessel development and stability, however, its role in tumor angiogenesis is not well known.

The Angiopoietin-Tie2 Pathway in Critical Illness
Lethal features of sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) relate to the health of small blood vessels. For example, alveolar infiltration with proteinaceous fluid is often driven by breach of the microvascular barrier. Spontaneous thrombus formation within inflamed microvessels exacerbates organ ischemia, and in its final stages, erupts ...
