Angiostatin: a negative regulator of endothelial-dependent vasodilation.
BACKGROUND Angiostatin is known to inhibit certain aspects of endothelial function, eg, angiogenesis. Here we investigated the effects of angiostatin on another aspect of endothelial function, vasodilation, and examined mechanisms of inhibition--namely, association of heat-shock protein 90 (hsp90) with endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and endothelial generation of nitric oxide (*NO) and...
متن کاملTea Consumption Enhances Endothelial-Dependent Vasodilation; a Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND Tea consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke. Direct effects of tea components on the vasculature, particularly the endothelium, may partly explain this association. OBJECTIVE We performed a meta-analysis of controlled human intervention studies on the effect of tea on flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery, a measurement o...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase Is a Negative Regulator of Phospholipid-Dependent Coagulation.
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a cationic heme enzyme stored in neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) that has recently been implicated in inflammatory cell signaling and tissue damage. Although PMNs play a critical role in both innate immunity and vascular thrombosis, no previous study has systematically investigated the effect of MPO on blood coagulation. Here, we show that PMN-derived M...
متن کاملCse1l Is a Negative Regulator of CFTR-Dependent Fluid Secretion
Transport of chloride through the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel is a key step in regulating fluid secretion in vertebrates [1, 2]. Loss of CFTR function leads to cystic fibrosis [1, 3, 4], a disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestine, and vas deferens. Conversely, uncontrolled activation of the channel leads to increased fluid secretion and p...
متن کاملPurinergic 2X1 receptors mediate endothelial dependent vasodilation to ATP.
ATP is an important endogenous mediator in the cardiovascular system. It induces endothelium dependent vasodilation, but the precise receptor pathway activated in this response is currently under debate. We have used traditional bioassay techniques to show that ATP-induced vasodilation in mesenteric vessels is endothelium-dependent. Furthermore, ATP-induced vasodilation was inhibited by both su...
