Resistin promotes endothelial cell activation: further evidence of adipokine-endothelial interaction.
BACKGROUND Adipocyte-derived hormones may represent a mechanism linking insulin resistance to cardiovascular disease. In the present study, we evaluated the direct effects of resistin, a novel adipocyte-derived hormone, on endothelial activation. METHODS AND RESULTS Endothelial cells (ECs) were incubated with human recombinant resistin (10 to 100 ng/ML, 24 hours), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) rele...
متن کاملIntrinsic FGF2 and FGF5 promotes angiogenesis of human aortic endothelial cells in 3D microfluidic angiogenesis system
The human body contains different endothelial cell types and differences in their angiogenic potential are poorly understood. We compared the functional angiogenic ability of human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) using a three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic cell culture system. HAECs and HUVECs exhibited similar cellular characteristics in a 2...
متن کاملHGF receptor up-regulation contributes to the angiogenic phenotype of human endothelial cells and promotes angiogenesis in vitro.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a mesenchyme-derived pleiotropic growth factor and a powerful stimulator of angiogenesis, which acts on cells by binding to the c-met receptor. The exact role of the endogenous HGF/c-met system in one or more steps of the angiogenic process is not completely understood. To contribute to this question we used immunocytochemical analysis, Western blotting, and re...
متن کاملTherapeutic angiogenesis promotes efficacy of human umbilical cord matrix stem cell transplantation in cardiac repair
Objective(s):Although previous studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of human umbilical cord matrix stem cell (hUCM) transplantation post myocardial infarction (MI), but this stem cell resource has no potential to induce angiogenesis. In order to achieve the process of angiogenesis and cardiomyocyte regeneration, two required factors for cardiac repair agents were examined namely; hUCM ...
متن کاملResistin Increases Monolayer Permeability of Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells
Resistin has been linked to obesity, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, and the development of cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the effects and the molecular mechanisms of resistin on endothelial permeability, a key event in the development of atherosclerosis, inflammation, and vascular disease, are largely unknown. In order to determine the effect of resistin on endothelial permeability...
