Endothelial EphA receptor stimulation increases lung vascular permeability.
Mediators of angiogenesis such as VEGFs and angiopoietins may regulate pulmonary vascular permeability under normal and pathological conditions. Ephrin family receptor tyrosine kinases are expressed in the vasculature and also regulate angiogenesis under some circumstances, but whether they also modulate lung vascular permeability is unknown. We hypothesized that stimulation of lung endothelial...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor increases pulmonary vascular permeability in cystic fibrosis patients undergoing lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the prime regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability and its serum levels increase in cystic fibrosis (CF). The mechanisms of VEGF overproduction and its impact on CF lung pathology and pulmonary vascular permeability during lung transplantation are not fully understood. METHODS The expression of VEGF, its receptors, hypoxia indu...
متن کاملParadoxical cAMP-induced lung endothelial hyperpermeability revealed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ExoY.
Mammalian transmembrane adenylyl cyclases synthesize a restricted plasmalemmal cAMP pool that is intensely endothelial barrier protective. Bacteria have devised mechanisms of transferring eukaryotic factor-dependent adenylyl cyclases into mammalian cells. Pseudomonas aeruginosa ExoY is one such enzyme that catalyzes cytosolic cAMP synthesis, with unknown function. Pseudomonas aeruginosa genetic...
متن کاملIn vivo immunotherapy of lung cancer using cross-species reactive vascular endothelial growth factor nanobodies
Objective(s): Lung cancer is the main leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Angiogenesis is the main step in proliferation and spreading of tumor cells. Targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an effective approach for inhibition of cancer angiogenesis. Nanobodies (NBs) are a novel class of antibodies derived from the camel. Unique characteristics of Nbs like their small size ...
