Arachidonic acid-induced Ca2+ entry is involved in early steps of tumor angiogenesis.
Growth factor-induced intracellular calcium signals in endothelial cells regulate cytosolic and nuclear events involved in the angiogenic process. Among the intracellular messengers released after proangiogenic stimulation, arachidonic acid (AA) plays a key role and its effects are strictly related to calcium homeostasis and cell proliferation. Here, we studied AA-induced intracellular calcium ...
متن کاملRho kinase is involved in Ca2+ entry of rat penile small arteries.
Tonic physiological activity of RhoA/Rho kinase contributes to the maintenance of penile flaccidity through its involvement in the Ca(2+) sensitization of erectile tissue smooth muscle. The present study hypothesized that Rho kinase is also involved in the modulation of Ca(2+) entry induced by alpha(1)-adrenoceptor stimulation of penile arteries. Rat penile arteries were mounted in microvascula...
متن کاملCD44 is involved in tumor angiogenesis; an activation antigen on human endothelial cells.
CD44 is described to be an activation molecule in a number of different cell types. We investigated the role of CD44 on human endothelial cells (EC) and in tumor angiogenesis. Using flow cytometry we showed that EC from the vasculature of human solid tumors display an enhanced expression of CD44 as compared to EC from normal tissue. This finding was confirmed by immunohistochemical studies on f...
متن کاملStore-Operated Ca2+ Entry Is Remodelled and Controls In Vitro Angiogenesis in Endothelial Progenitor Cells Isolated from Tumoral Patients
BACKGROUND Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may be recruited from bone marrow to sustain tumor vascularisation and promote the metastatic switch. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving EPC proliferation and tubulogenesis could outline novel targets for alternative anti-angiogenic treatments. Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), which is activated by a depletion of the intracellular Ca...
متن کاملAngiogenesis for tumor vascular normalization of Endostar on hepatoma 22 tumor-bearing mice is involved in the immune response
Tumor vascular normalization involved in immune response is beneficial to the chemotherapy of tumors. Recombinant human endostatin (Endostar), an angiogenesis inhibitor, has been demonstrated to be effective in hepatocellular cancer (HCC). However, its vascular normalization in HCC and the role of the immune response in angiogenesis were unclear. In the present study, effects of Endostar on tum...
