HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Activated Fps/Fes partially rescues the in vivo developmental potential of Flk1-deficient vascular progenitor cells
Relatively little is known about the modulators of the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A)/Flk1 signaling cascade. To functionally characterize this pathway, VEGF-A stimulation of endothelial cells was performed. VEGF-A–mediated Flk1 activation resulted in increased translocation of the endogenous Fps/Fes cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase to the plasma membrane and increased tyrosine phosph...
متن کاملDifferent Stages of Platelet Adhesion to the Site of Vascular Injury
Platelet activation and adhesion to the site of vascular injury is a dynamic process comprising reversible and irreversible phases. Platelet adhesion typically occurs in a multi-step process similar to the selectin/integrin-mediated adhesion of neutrophils. This phenomenon is highly regulated and influenced by the cross-talk between platelets and injured endothelium. This cross-talk involves a ...
متن کاملThe haemostatic role of tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
Under normal conditions the blood circulates freely within the confines of the vascular system, carrying oxygen, nutrients, and hormonal information around the body and removing metabolic waste. If blood gains access to extravascular sites, or the vasculature becomes pathologically challenged, hemostasis may be activated. This process is finely regulated by positive and negative feedback loops ...
متن کاملEndoglin Mediates Vascular Maturation by Promoting Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration and Spreading
OBJECTIVE Endoglin, a transforming growth factor-β superfamily coreceptor, is predominantly expressed in endothelial cells and has essential roles in vascular development. However, whether endoglin is also expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), especially in vivo, remains controversial. Furthermore, the roles of endoglin in VSMC biology remain largely unknown. Our objective was to e...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Regulation of human coagulation factor X gene expression by GATA-4 and the Sp family of transcription factors
Serine protease factor Xa plays a critical role in the coagulation cascade. Zymogen factor X is synthesized and modified in the liver. To understand the mechanisms governing the liver-specific expression of factor X, the proximal promoter of human factor X was previously characterized. Two crucial cis elements at 273 and 2128 and their cognate binding proteins, HNF-4 and NF-Y, respectively, wer...
