Transcriptional Induction of Metallothionein by Tris(pentafluorophenyl)stibane in Cultured Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells
Vascular endothelial cells cover the luminal surface of blood vessels and contribute to the prevention of vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis. Metallothionein (MT) is a low molecular weight, cysteine-rich, metal-binding, inducible protein, which protects cells from the toxicity of heavy metals and active oxygen species. Endothelial MT is not induced by inorganic zinc. Adequate tools are ...
متن کاملMicropipette aspiration of cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells exposed to shear stress.
The mechanical properties of cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells exposed to a fluid-imposed shear stress were studied using the micropipette technique. The cells, which were attached to a Thermanox plastic substrate, were exposed to a specific steady shear stress of either 10, 30, or 85 dynes/cm2 and for a duration ranging from 0.5 to 24 hours. Morphological changes in shape and orientatio...
متن کاملRenin - Angiotensin Components in Cultured Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells
Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells were examined for renin activity by biochemical, immunological, and immunohistochemical techniques. When cell sonicates were incubated with renin substrate, linear generation of angiotensin I was observed (1.12 ± 0.2 ng angiotensin I/10 cells per hr). The effect of pH on this activity was similar to that of bovine renal renin, and renin antibodies inhibi...
متن کاملEthanolamine metabolism in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells.
The role of extracellular ethanolamine in phospholipid synthesis was examined in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. Serine and ethanolamine were both readily accumulated by these cells and incorporated into phospholipid. Exposing cells to extracellular ethanolamine for 4-6 weeks had no effect on cell growth, yet increased the phosphatidylethanolamine content of these cells by 31% as comp...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix of Cultured Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells Contains
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEs) was analyzed by immunoblotting and reverse fibrin autography and shown to contain type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAl-i ). Most PAl-i in the ECM formed complexes with exogenously added tissuetype plasminogen activator (tPA). demonstrating that this PAl-i was functionally active. The resulting tPA/PAI-1 com...
