Arterial and venous endothelia display differential functional fractalkine (CX3CL1) expression by angiotensin-II.
OBJECTIVE Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) promotes the interaction of mononuclear cells with arterioles and neutrophils with postcapillary venules. To investigate the mechanisms underlying this dissimilar response, the involvement of fractalkine (CX(3)CL1) was explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Enhanced CX(3)CL1 expression was detected in both cremasteric arterioles and postcapillary venules 24 hours afte...
متن کاملNew Cytoplasmic Components in Arterial Endothelia
A hitherto unknown rod-shaped cytoplasmic component which consists of a bundle of fine tubules, enveloped by a tightly fitted membrane, was regularly found in endothelial cells of small arteries in various organs in rat and man. It is about 0.1 micro thick, measures up to 3 micro in length, and contains several small tubules, approximately 150 A thick, embedded in a dense matrix, and disposed p...
متن کاملDouble reciprocal innervations in dog iris sphincter and dilator muscles.
Neuro-effector transmission and mechanical responses in smooth muscles of the dog iris were studied, using tension recording and microelectrode methods. Electrical stimulations evoked an initial phasic contraction followed by relaxation in both the iris sphincter and dilator muscles. Atropine selectively suppressed phasic contraction of the sphincter and relaxation of the dilator muscle, while ...
متن کاملComplex Arterial and Venous Thrombosis in Polycythemia Vera: what Does Leukocytosis Predict?
Thromboembolic events represent the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with polycythemia vera. Leukocytosis has been identified as an important risk factor for development of vascular thrombosis. A 47-year-old woman with polycythemia vera presented with pain and swelling in her right calf. She was scheduled to receive anagrelide which was effective on polycythemia and thrombocyto...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase activity and expression in human venous and arterial bypass graft vessels.
UNLABELLED Venous bypass grafts are more prone to accelerated atherosclerosis than arterial grafts, which is partly related to increased oxidative stress and diminished nitric oxide bioavailability. In veins superoxide production is dependent primarily on nox2 NAD(P)H oxidase expression, while in arteries nox4 appears to play an important role. This may in part explain differences in susceptibi...
