Analysis of coagulation cascade and endothelial cell activation during inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor pathway in cancer patients.
OBJECTIVE The angiogenesis inhibitor SU5416 is a potent inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-1 and -2. VEGF may be involved in hemostasis by altering the hemostatic properties of endothelial cells. We analyzed the effects of SU5416 on the coagulation cascade and the vessel wall in patients with advanced cancer. METHODS AND RESULTS Markers for thrombin generation, ac...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Inflammatory Cytokines and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Stimulate the Release of Soluble Tie Receptor From Human Endothelial Cells Via Metalloprotease Activation
Activation of endothelial cells, important in processes such as angiogenesis, is regulated by cell surface receptors, including those in the tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. Receptor activity, in turn, can be modulated by phosphorylation, turnover, or proteolytic release of a soluble extracellular domain. Previously, we demonstrated that release of soluble tie-1 receptor from endothelial cells by ...
متن کاملThe puzzling role of TRAIL in endothelial cell biology.
Cell Biology To the Editor: In their study published online in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, O’Brien et al demonstrate that activated protein C (APC) decreases tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) expression in endothelial cells.1 Although the molecular mechanism by which APC decreases the expression of TRAIL mRNA and protein via an Egr-1/E...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY The inflammatory action of CD40 ligand (CD154) expressed on activated human platelets is temporally limited by coexpressed CD40
Recently, we have demonstrated that human platelets carry preformed CD40 ligand (CD154) molecules, which rapidly appear on the platelet surface following stimulation by thrombin. Once on the surface, platelet CD154 induces an inflammatory reaction of CD40-bearing endothelial cells. This study shows that strong platelet agonists other than thrombin also lead to the expression of CD154 on the pla...
متن کاملPlatelets: physiology and biochemistry.
Platelets are specialized blood cells that play central roles in physiologic and pathologic processes of hemostasis, inflammation, tumor metastasis, wound healing, and host defense. Activation of platelets is crucial for platelet function that includes a complex interplay of adhesion and signaling molecules. This article gives an overview of the activation processes involved in primary and seco...
