Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, (1, 2). Current interventions are ineffective in up to 30% of patients due to the presence of diffuse or extensive atherosclerosis, therefore the development of alternative or supplementary therapies for CVD is a high priority for medical research. Therapeutic angiogenesis, enhancing the growth of new blood vessel networks from the existing vasculature, is a promising strategy for restoring blood flow to ischaemic tissue. Stem cells have shown potential as pro-angiogenic therapies for patients with coronary

L'endotelio vascolare è un importante tessuto il cui ruolo sia in fisiologia, che in patologia è stato a lungo sottovalutato. Per molti anni, l'inaccessibilità di questo tessuto ha reso difficoltoso valutarne il ruolo fisio-patologico. La disfunzione delle cellule endoteliali è alla base di molti se non tutti gli stati patologici e può manifestarsi a diversi livelli dello sviluppo vascolare: durante la vasculogenesi, durante il processo di angiogenesi oppure durante il rimodellamento vascolare. Il processo di vasculogenesi consiste nella specializzazione di precursori vascolari in arterie e v

Abstract:

Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) are thought to participate in the healing of injured vascular endothelium by incorporating into the defect sites to mediate endothelial recovery. Recently, osteopontin (OPN) was shown to be fundamental in accelerating estrogen-dependent healing of injured blood vessels. Here, we are investigating the effect OPN has on EPC behavior. Late outgrowth human EPCs (LEPCs) were derived from circulating monocytes isolated by leukophoresis, and grown in culture until passage six. L-EPCs were then assayed for adhesion, spreading, chemotaxis, and haptotaxis, as well as

This study sought to investigate the consequences of different degrees of oxidative stress on endothelial cells, using a cultured endothelial cell model; principally bovine aortic endothelial cells, subjected to oxidative stress. High concentrations of H2O2 or a superoxide generating system caused rapid endothelial cell death, as evidenced by increased membrane permeability, which could be partially protected by myoglobin. Extracellular H2O2 caused a rapid increase in intracellular peroxidation but was also eliminated by endothelial cells. However, the anti-oxidant capacity of the bovine endot

Abstract:

The endothelium plays a critical role in coordinating the innate immune response through the regulation of vascular tone, leukocyte recruitment and transmigration, and hemostasis. These functions are mediated, in part, by the signaling cascades initiated upon recognition of bacterial and viral products by a family of transmembrane receptors known as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). In endothelial cells, exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major cell wall constituent of Gram negative bacteria, results in endothelial activation through TLR4.

Pleiotropic cytokine tumour necrosis factor a (TNF) is the archetypal member of a large super-family of ligands and associated receptors. Through its two surface presenting receptors, TNFRI and TNFR2, TNF can elicit responses such as differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis, depending on several factors such as microenvironment, cell cycle, and cell type. Recent evidence indicated that TNF can be up-regulated in endothelial cells (EC) upon their stimulation and plays an important role in regulating EC responses which have been implicated in several cardiovascular diseases, such as heart f

Background: Vascular endothelial dysfunction plays a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. As such, the study of endothelial cells has sought to identify causal pathways and novel therapeutic approaches to promote vascular repair.

Despite controversy surrounding the heterogeneous nature of these cells in vitro and in vivo, their vasoreparative functions suggest that EPCs have potential clinical value.

The type I receptor, termed activin receptor-like kinase (ALK), acts downstream of the type II receptor and propagates the signal to the nucleus by phosphorylating receptor regulated Smads (R-Smads). The activated R-Smads can associate with the common partner Smad, Smad4, and this complex

On the other hand, there are embryonic precursors of endothelial cells (PECs), which also express CD34, and which can be differentiated from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in vitro.
