Mitogenic Effect of Serotonin on Vascular Endothelial Cells
Background Recent studies indicate that serotonin (5-HT) has a growth-promoting effect on several different cell types, including smooth muscle cells. After percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, there is damage and denudation of vascular endothelial cells, which promotes platelet aggregation at the site of injury. Aggregating platelets release 5--HT; thus, a high concentration of the ...
متن کاملA re-evaluation of the mitogenic effect of serotonin on vascular endothelial cells.
Serotonin is an extracellular mediator recognized by seven different types of receptors, thus giving rise to pleiotropic intracellular responses. One of these responses is the activation of proliferation for a number of cell types. The induction of proliferation of otherwise quiescent endothelial cells is a key step of angiogenesis. Previously published work concerning the effect of serotonin o...
متن کاملMitogenic effect of Bartonella bacilliformis on human vascular endothelial cells and involvement of GroEL.
Bartonellae are bacterial pathogens for a wide variety of mammals. In humans, bartonellosis can result in angioproliferative lesions that are potentially life threatening to the patient, including bacillary angiomatosis, bacillary peliosis, and verruga peruana. The results of this study show that Bartonella bacilliformis, the agent of Oroya fever and verruga peruana, produces a proteinaceous mi...
متن کاملSPARC (BM-40, osteonectin) inhibits the mitogenic effect of vascular endothelial growth factor on microvascular endothelial cells.
SPARC (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine) is a matricellular protein that modulates cell adhesion and proliferation and is thought to function in tissue remodeling and angiogenesis. In this study, we demonstrate that SPARC inhibits DNA synthesis by >90% in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) stimulated by the endothelial cell mitogen vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate to Endothelial Cells Using Recombinant Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor –A
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an endothelial cell-specific mitogen produced by various cell types, plays important roles in cell differentiation and proliferation. In this study we investigated the effect of recombinant VEGF-A on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to endothelial cells (ECs). Methods: VEGF-A was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and BL21...
