HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Direct evidence of leukocyte adhesion in arterioles by angiotensin II
Although leukocytes adhere in arteries in various vascular diseases, to date no endogenous proinflammatory molecule has been identified to initiate leukocyte adhesion in the arterial vasculature. This study was undertaken to assess angiotensin II (Ang II)–induced leukocyte adhesion in arterioles in vivo. Rats received intraperitoneal injections of Ang II; 4 hours later, leukocyte recruitment in...
متن کاملArterial 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 کاملCXCR2 blockade impairs angiotensin II-induced CC chemokine synthesis and mononuclear leukocyte infiltration.
OBJECTIVE Angiotensin II (Ang-II) and mononuclear leukocytes are involved in atherosclerosis. This study reports the inhibition of Ang-II-induced mononuclear cell recruitment by CXCR2 antagonism and the mechanisms involved. METHODS AND RESULTS Ang-II (1 nmol/L, i.p. in rats) induced CXC and CC chemokines, followed by neutrophil and mononuclear cell recruitment. Administration of the CXCR2 ant...
متن کاملDynamic observation of mechanically-injured mouse femoral artery reveals an antiinflammatory effect of renin inhibitor.
OBJECTIVE The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) plays a central role in atherosclerosis. To investigate the effects of a direct renin inhibitor aliskiren on vascular inflammation, we conducted leukocyte adhesion assays in vivo and in vitro using a novel real-time imaging system. METHODS AND RESULTS Aliskiren (10 mg/kg/d) or PBS was administered to C57BL/6 mice (6-7 weeks of age; Orie...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Activated monocytes in sickle cell disease: potential role in the activation of vascular endothelium and vaso-occlusion
Sickle cell anemia is characterized by painful vaso-occlusive crises. It is hypothesized that monocytes are activated in sickle cell disease and can enhance vasoocclusion by activating endothelium. To test this hypothesis, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human microvascular endothelial cells (MVEC) with sickle and normal mononuclear leukocytes were incubated, and endothelial ...
