Atorvastatin but not elocalcitol increases
27 Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) are characterized by impaired erectile function and by 28 overactivity of the pro-contractile RhoA/Rho-kinase (RhoA/ROCK) pathway, as compared to their 29 normotensive counterpart, Wistar Kyoto rats. By measuring intracavernous pressure/mean arterial 30 pressure (ICP/MAP) ratio after electrostimulation of the cavernous nerve, we confirmed these findings ...
متن کاملMechanotaxis and cell motility
We propose a mechanism of cell motility which is based on contraction and does not require protrusion. The contraction driven translocation of a cell is due to internal flow of the cytoskeleton generated by molecular motors. Each motor contributes to the stress field and simultaneously undergoes biased random motion in the direction of a higher value of this stress. In this way active cross-lin...
متن کاملEndothelial cell FGF signaling is required for injury response but not for vascular homeostasis.
Endothelial cells (ECs) express fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) and are exquisitely sensitive to FGF signals. However, whether the EC or another vascular cell type requires FGF signaling during development, homeostasis, and response to injury is not known. Here, we show that Flk1-Cre or Tie2-Cre mediated deletion of FGFR1 and FGFR2 (Fgfr1/2(Flk1-Cre) or Fgfr1/2(Tie2-Cre) mice), which...
متن کاملRho and Rac but not Cdc42 regulate endothelial cell permeability.
Endothelial permeability induced by thrombin and histamine is accompanied by actin stress fibre assembly and intercellular gap formation. Here, we investigate the roles of the Rho family GTPases Rho1, Rac1 and Cdc42 in regulating endothelial barrier function, and correlate this with their effects on F-actin organization and intercellular junctions. RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 proteins were expressed e...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of Necrotic but Not Apoptotic Trophoblasts Induces Endothelial Cell
It is hypothesized that preeclampsia is caused by factors from the placenta that induce endothelial cell activation. Trophoblasts are cells that may be shed from the placenta, then deported in the maternal blood, and finally become trapped in the pulmonary capillaries. The ultimate fate of deported trophoblasts is unknown, but to prevent clogging of the pulmonary circulation they must be cleare...
