Brain Endothelial Cells Control Fertility through Ovarian-Steroid–Dependent Release of Semaphorin 3A
Neuropilin-1 (Nrp1) guides the development of the nervous and vascular systems, but its role in the mature brain remains to be explored. Here we report that the expression of the 65 kDa isoform of Sema3A, the ligand of Nrp1, by adult vascular endothelial cells, is regulated during the ovarian cycle and promotes axonal sprouting in hypothalamic neurons secreting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (G...
متن کاملSemaphorin 3A elevates endothelial cell permeability through PP2A inactivation.
VE-cadherin-mediated cell-cell junction weakening increases paracellular permeability in response to both angiogenic and inflammatory stimuli. Although Semaphorin 3A has emerged as one of the few known anti-angiogenic factors to exhibit pro-permeability activity, little is known about how it triggers vascular leakage. Here we report that Semaphorin 3A induced VE-cadherin serine phosphorylation ...
متن کاملNegative Regulation of Semaphorin-3A Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Using MicroRNA-497-5p
Background: Semaphorin-3A (Sema3A), as a secreted semaphorin, is an immune modulator molecule participating in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate the target-gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. It has been proposed that miRNAs may be crucial to the modulation of the function of semaphorins. Previous findings have proven that miR-497-5p is upregula...
متن کاملEndothelial cell-derived semaphorin 3A inhibits filopodia formation by blood vascular tip cells.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A is a well-known major chemoattractant driver of angiogenesis--the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. However, the repellent factors that fine-tune this angiogenic process remain poorly characterized. We investigated the expression and functional role of endothelial cell-derived semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) in retinal angiogenesis, using ...
متن کاملHuman Muscle Progenitor Cells Displayed Immunosuppressive Effect through Galectin-1 and Semaphorin-3A
In human skeletal muscle, myoblasts represent the main population of myogenic progenitors. We previously showed that, beside their myogenic differentiation capacities, myoblasts also differentiate towards osteogenic and chondrogenic lineages, some properties generally considered being hallmarks of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs are also characterized by their immunosuppressive potential, t...
