Apelin-APJ signaling in retinal angiogenesis.
The G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) APJ (X-msr, angiotensin receptor like 1b) was cloned in several laboratories by homology screening, with the goal of identifying new members of this class of cell surface receptor.1 This gene attracted attention because of its sequence similarity to the important angiotensin II type 1 receptor and its highly restricted pattern of expression in endothelial c...
متن کاملApelin is a crucial factor for hypoxia-induced retinal angiogenesis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of endogenous apelin in pathological retinal angiogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS The progression of ischemic retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, is closely associated with pathological retinal angiogenesis, mainly induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and erythropoietin. Although antiangiogenic therapies using anti-VEGF drugs are effe...
متن کاملApelin/APJ signaling is a critical regulator of statin effects in vascular endothelial cells--brief report.
OBJECTIVE The endothelial response elicited by the G-protein-coupled receptor pathway involving apelin and APJ predicts an overall vasoprotective effect. As a number of downstream endothelial targets of apelin/APJ signaling are also known to be targeted by statins (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl [HMG]-CoA reductase inhibitors) as potential mediators of their known pleiotropic effects, we evaluated...
متن کاملThe apelin-APJ system induces tumor arteriogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma.
AIM The apelin-APJ system regulates angiogenesis, and is overexpressed in several types of cancer. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of the apelin-APJ system in the angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Expressions of angiogenic factors and vascular markers were investigated in specimens from 90 HCC patients. A subcutaneous HCC tumor mouse model was...
متن کامل[Pathological role of apelin in angiogenic eye disease].
Progression of ischemic retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, is closely associated with pathological retinal angiogenesis mainly induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Anti-angiogenic therapy using anti-VEGF antibodies is effective in treating diabetic retinopathy, even though its efficacy is not long-lasting. Since many factors are involved in angiogenesis, it is reas...
