Glycocalyx and endothelial (dys) function: from mice to men.
Located on the luminal surface of vascular endothelial cells, the glycocalyx is composed of a negatively charged mesh of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins and glycolipids and harbors a wide array of enzymes that contribute in regulation of leukocyte-/thrombocyte adherence, with a principal role in plasma and vessel wall homeostasis. Glycocalyx disruption is accompanied by enhance...
متن کاملThe ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and endothelial (dys)function.
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been recognized as a key regulatory pathway in cardiovascular diseases. Although the role of this system in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction remains largely unknown, available data suggest that proteasome activity is modified by mediators and processes--e.g. nitric oxide and oxidative stress--involved in the regulation of endothelial function...
متن کاملHow structure shapes (dys)function
Structure is a key determinant of function, with the nervous system being no exception. For example, in the nervous system the physiological properties of different synapses may be understood by comparing their structures. However, it is not clear whether specific structural properties of some neurons might play a role in driving their selective removal during chronic neurodegeneration or wheth...
متن کاملLiver Disease and Hemostatic (Dys)function.
Cirrhosis presents with decreased procoagulant factors as a consequence of the impaired synthetic capacity of the liver. This was taken as evidence to explain the abnormalities of the coagulation tests prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and the bleeding events that occur in these patients. It was for long time (and probably is still) common practice to test p...
متن کاملMitochondrial (dys)function and regulation of macrophage cholesterol efflux.
Cholesterol trafficking from the outer to the cholesterol-poor inner mitochondrial membrane requires energized, polarized and actively respiring mitochondria, mediated by a highly regulated multimeric (140-200 kDa) protein complex comprising StAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein), mitochondrial TSPO (translocator protein), VDAC (voltage-dependent anion channel), ANT (adenine nucleotide t...
