Abstract:

Vasoactive factors produced and released by the endothelium exert a powerful influence on vascular tone in the cerebral circulation. Impaired endothelium-dependent responses, such as decreased production of endothelium-derived relaxing factors, and/or release of endothelium-derived contractile factors may give rise to different pathophysiological conditions. Among the endothelium-derived contractile factors the endothelins have recently received particular attention. Endothelin-1 is the major isoform in the endothelin family, which also includes endothelin-2 and endothelin-3. Endothelin-1 is s

Abstract:

Renal endothelial damage is pivotal in the initiation and progression of renal disease. Damaged renal endothelium may be regenerated through proliferation of local endothelium and circulation-derived endothelial progenitor cells. Activation of the PPAR-γ-receptors present on endothelial cells affects their cellular behavior. Proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and angiogenesis by endothelial cells are modulated, but may involve both stimulation and inhibition depending on the specific circumstances. PPAR-γ-receptor activation stimulates the production of nitric oxide, C-type natriuretic pepti

Abstract:

Endocardial endothelium is reported to modulate myocardial contraction by releasing diffusible factors, but the nature of the agent(s) responsible is unknown. In the present study we investigated the potential role of endothelin in these effects. Cultured sheep endocardial endothelial cells were found to express endothelin-1 mRNA and to release endothelin-1 into superfusing solution. This superfusate induced positive inotropic effects in isolated rat cardiac myocytes, associated with an increase in the cytosolic Ca2+ transient. Similar positive inotropic effects were induced by vascular endoth

Intra-adrenal factors promote basal as well as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-, angiotensin-, and flow-induced steroid secretion.

Endothelial cells and endothelial cell-conditioned medium (EC-CM) stimulated the release of aldosterone from ZG cells. The stimulatory effect was related to the concentration of endothelial cells or EC-CM. The maximal stimulatory effect

The role of metabolic reprogramming in the coordination of the immune response has gained increasing consideration in recent years.

Thus, immune cells switch from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis, increasing their glucose uptake. A similar metaboli

Endothelial cells line the lumenal surface of al) elements of the vascular system. These cells exhibit numerous metabolic functions necessary for the maintenance of homeostasis. The critical role of endothelium in maintaining normal blood vessel function is exemplified by the poor clinical performance of small diameter polymeric vascular grafts which fail due, in part, to the lack of a functional endothelium on the lumenal surface. Extensive research has explored the potentiality of transplanting endothelial cells onto polymeric vascular grafts to improve graft function. Several critical issue

Abstract:

Endothelin is a potent vasoconstrictive peptide that is produced by vascular endothelial cells; it is formed from its precursor, big endothelin, by endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE). In this work, ECE was studied using specific monoclonal antibodies. In immunoblotting, ECE was estimated to be a 300 kDa protein on SDS/PAGE under non-reducing conditions, and 130 kDa under reducing conditions. Cross-linking experiments revealed that ECE is composed of two disulphide-linked subunits. Localization of ECE was studied at the cellular and subcellular levels in various rat tissues and cells.

AbstractEndothelial cells form the innermost layer of all blood vessels and are the only vascular component that remains throughout all vascular segments. The cerebral vasculature has several unique properties not found in the peripheral circulation; this requires that the cerebral endothelium be considered as a unique entity. Cerebral endothelial cells perform several functions vital for brain health. The cerebral vasculature is responsible for protecting the brain from external threats carried in the blood. The endothelial cells are central to this requirement as they form the basis of the b

While studying the microtubule toxicity mechanisms of the exotoxin Y from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, we observed that some endothelial microtubules were very difficult to disassemble in the cold.

A powerful endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor had been predicted for some time, but it was when Yanagisawa and his colleagues elucidated the structure, and provided information about the molecular biology and mode of action of the peptide that an unprecedented interest was stimulated in the endothelins.
