VLDL Induced Modulation of Nitric Oxide Signalling and Cell Redox Homeostasis in HUVEC
High levels of circulating lipoprotein constitute a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and in this context, the specific role of the very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) is poorly understood. The response of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) to VLDL exposure was studied, especially focusing on the pathways involved in alteration of redox homeostasis and nitric oxide (NO) bioa...
متن کاملNitric oxide signalling and neuronal nitric oxide synthase in the heart under stress
Nitric oxide (NO) is an imperative regulator of the cardiovascular system and is a critical mechanism in preventing the pathogenesis and progression of the diseased heart. The scenario of bioavailable NO in the myocardium is complex: 1) NO is derived from both endogenous NO synthases (endothelial, neuronal, and/or inducible NOSs [eNOS, nNOS, and/or iNOS]) and exogenous sources (entero-salivary ...
متن کاملNitric oxide signalling in insects.
The gas, nitric oxide (NO), was first described as a second messenger molecule at least a decade ago; since then, research into mechanisms of intracellular generation of NO and of the functional role of the NO signalling pathway has generated thousands of research papers, many reviews and a Nobel Prize. This reflects the fundamental importance of NO and its signalling processes in biology and m...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Increases Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Transcription In Huvec Cells.
Although it is known that VEGF increases eNOS protein, the mechanisms responsible remain unclear. To determine if VEGF alters eNOS transcription, human umbilical vein endothelial cells were transfected with reporters under the control of the eNOS promoter and stimulated with VEGF165. VEGF significantly increased eNOS-mRNA after 2 hours exposure. VEGF significantly increased eNOS reporter activi...
متن کاملNitric oxide-dependent and nitric oxide-independent transcriptional responses to high shear stress in endothelial cells.
Shear stress modulates gene expression in endothelial cells (ECs) partly through nitric oxide (NO), acting via enhanced cGMP formation by guanylyl cyclase (GC). We addressed non-cGMP-mediated transcriptional responses to shear stress in human umbilical ECs subjected to high-laminar shear stress (25 dyn/cm2; 150 minutes). RNA was isolated, reverse-transcribed, Cy3/5-labeled, and hybridized to 19...
