Neutrophil-derived glutamate regulates vascular endothelial barrier function.
Endothelial barrier function is altered by the release of soluble polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)-derived mediators during inflammatory states. However, endogenous pathways to describe such changes are only recently appreciated. Using an in vitro endothelial paracellular permeability model, cell-free supernatants from formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine-stimulated PMNs were observed to signifi...
متن کاملKeratin 8 protection of placental barrier function
The intermediate filament protein keratin 8 (K8) is critical for the development of most mouse embryos beyond midgestation. We find that 68% of K8-/- embryos, in a sensitive genetic background, are rescued from placental bleeding and subsequent death by cellular complementation with wild-type tetraploid extraembryonic cells. This indicates that the primary defect responsible for K8-/- lethality...
متن کاملEndothelial barrier function in preeclampsia.
Impaired endothelial barrier function resulting in increased vascular permeability is a characteristic vascular response in preeclampsia, a hypertensive and multiple systemic disorder of human pregnancy. During the last two decades, endothelial function in preeclampsia has been intensively studied and significant progress has been made in understanding the cellular and molecular bases of the al...
متن کاملAdrenomedullin and endothelial barrier function.
Although loss of endothelial barrier function is a hallmark of every acute inflammation and contributes to fatal loss of organ function during severe infections, there is no sufficient therapy for stabilization of endothelial barrier function. Endogenous peptide adrenomedullin (AM) serum levels were shown to be increased during severe infection including sepsis and septic shock. In different in...
متن کاملMacrophage-derived foam cells impair endothelial barrier function by inducing endothelial-mesenchymal transition via CCL-4
Recently, endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) has been demonstrated to play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis, the molecular mechanisms of which remain unclear. In the present study, scanning electron microscopy directly revealed a widened endothelial space and immunohistofluorescence demonstrated that EndMT was increased in human aorta atherosclerotic plaques. M1 m...
