Mitochondria, endothelial cell function, and vascular diseases
Mitochondria are perhaps the most sophisticated and dynamic responsive sensing systems in eukaryotic cells. The role of mitochondria goes beyond their capacity to create molecular fuel and includes the generation of reactive oxygen species, the regulation of calcium, and the activation of cell death. In endothelial cells, mitochondria have a profound impact on cellular function under both healt...
متن کاملMitochondria and endothelial function.
In contrast to their role in cell types with higher energy demands, mitochondria in endothelial cells primarily function in signaling cellular responses to environmental cues. This article provides an overview of key aspects of mitochondrial biology in endothelial cells, including subcellular location, biogenesis, dynamics, autophagy, reactive oxygen species production and signaling, calcium ho...
متن کاملP-185: Expression and Function of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Fallopian Tuben Carrying Ectopic Pregnancy
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic growth factor that is produced by different tissues, including the endometrium and ovary. VEGF is involved in many processes related to reproductive physiology, including angiogenesis, which is essential for implantation and placentation. It has been suggested that VEGF may be the angiogenic factor responsible for the implan...
متن کاملrole of vascular endothelial growth factors in ocular neovascular diseases
the most important progress in the field of retinal diseases during recent years might be the introduction of pharmacotherapy. age-related macular degeneration for instance was an irreversible disease leading to permanent anatomical and functional changes in the macula up to the previous decade; however, the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents (anti-vegfs) not only stops the p...
متن کاملMitochondrial function in vascular endothelial cell in diabetes.
Micro- and macrovascular complications are commonly seen in diabetic patients and endothelial dysfunction contributes to the development and progression of the complications. Abnormal functions in endothelial cells lead to the increase in vascular tension and atherosclerosis, followed by systemic hypertension as well as increased incidence of ischemia and stroke in diabetic patients. Mitochondr...
