Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor Promotes Endothelial Progenitor Cells Function via Akt/FOXO3a Pathway
Acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF1) has been suggested to enhance the functional activities of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). The Forkhead homeobox type O transcription factors (FOXOs), a key substrate of the survival kinase Akt, play important roles in regulation of various cellular processes. We previously have shown that FOXO3a is the main subtype of FOXOs expressed in EPCs. Here, w...
متن کاملCross-talk between endothelial and tumor cells via basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor signaling promotes lung cancer growth and angiogenesis
The present study aimed to investigate the origin and potential mechanisms of angiogenesis in lung cancer cells. Normal endothelial cells (ECs) were isolated from human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) and cultured. The human lung cancer A549 cell line was also used. The cross-talk model between the HUVECs and the A549 cell line was constructed in vitro using a Millicell co-culture system. Cluster o...
متن کاملDihydrotestosterone modulates endothelial progenitor cell function via RhoA/ROCK pathway.
BACKGROUND Previous findings indicate that testosterone level is negatively correlated with the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases in men. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a critical role in endothelial healing and vascular integrity. This study aimed to examine the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), an active metabolite of testosterone, on human EPC function and inve...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor is essential to maintain endothelial progenitor cell phenotype in TR-BME2 cells.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) can differentiate into both endothelial cells and contractile smooth muscle cells (SMC). Previously we reported that TR-BME2 cells, a model for EPC, developed contractile SMC-like characteristics in culture medium deprived of endothelial cell growth factors (ECGF). The aim of the present study was to clarify the effect of one of these factors, basic fibroblast...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor receptor-1 is expressed by endothelial progenitor cells.
Recent experiments show that hematopoietic progenitor cell populations contain endothelial precursor cells. We have isolated a population of CD34(+) cells that expresses fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1) and that differentiates into endothelial cells in vitro. We find that 4.5% +/- 2.1% of CD34(+) cells isolated from bone marrow, cord blood, and mobilized peripheral blood express FGF...
