Angiostatin effects on endothelial cells mediated by ceramide and RhoA.
Angiostatin is a cleavage product of plasminogen that has anti-angiogenic properties. We investigated whether the effects of angiostatin on endothelial cells are mediated by ceramide, a lipid implicated in endothelial cell signaling. Our results demonstrate that angiostatin produces a transient increase in ceramide that correlates with actin stress fiber reorganization, detachment and death. DN...
متن کاملAngiostatin(4.5)-mediated apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells.
Angiostatin, a proteolytic cleavage product of plasminogen, acts via a selective, yet poorly understood mechanism to potently inhibit angiogenesis (M. S. O'Reilly et al., Cell, 79: 315-328, 1994). Vascular endothelial cell proliferation assays revealed that angiostatin(4.5), a naturally occurring human isoform consisting of plasminogen kringle domains 1-4 and most of kringle domain 5 (G. A. Sof...
متن کاملEffects of Surface Viscoelasticity on Cellular Responses of Endothelial Cells
Background: One area of nanoscience deals with nanoscopic interactions between nanostructured materials and biological systems. To elucidate the effects of the substrate surface morphology and viscoelasticity on cell proliferation, fractal analysis was performed on endothelial cells cultured on nanocomposite samples based on silicone rubber (SR) and various concentrations of organomodified nano...
متن کاملSpironolactone Inhibits NADPH Oxidase-Mediated Oxidative Stress and Dysregulation of the Endothelial NO Synthase in Human Endothelial Cells
Accumulating evidence indicates that aldosterone plays a critical role in the mediation of oxidative stress and vascular damage. NADPH oxidase has been recognized as a major source of oxidative stress in vasculature. However, the relation between NADPH oxidase in aldosterone-mediated oxidative stress in endothelial cells remains to be ascertained. The present study aimed to investigate the rel...
