A noncoding antisense RNA in tie-1 locus regulates tie-1 function in vivo.
Recently, messenger RNAs in eukaryotes have shown to associate with antisense (AS) transcript partners that are often referred to as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) whose function is largely unknown. Here, we have identified a natural AS transcript for tyrosine kinase containing immunoglobulin and epidermal growth factor homology domain-1 (tie-1), tie-1AS lncRNA in zebrafish, mouse, and humans. I...
متن کاملThe angiopoietin/Tie-2 system regulates pericyte survival and recruitment in diabetic retinopathy.
PURPOSE The angiopoietin (Ang) system plays an important role in vascular stabilization and pathologic neovascularization. The hypothesis for the study was that, in addition to modulating endothelial cell behavior, the angiopoietin/Tie-2 system also regulates the pericyte apoptosis and/or the vessel maturation associated with diabetic retinopathy. METHODS Tie-2 expression in cultured retinal ...
متن کاملZebrafish Tie-2 shares a redundant role with Tie-1 in heart development and regulates vessel integrity
Tie-2 is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family and is required for vascular remodeling and maintenance of mammalian vessel integrity. A number of mutations in the human TIE2 gene have been identified in patients suffering from cutaneomucosal venous malformations and ventricular septal defects. How exactly Tie-2 signaling pathways play different roles in both vascular development and v...
متن کاملEts motifs are necessary for endothelial cell-specific expression of a 723-bp Tie-2 promoter/enhancer in Hprt targeted transgenic mice.
OBJECTIVE Tie-2 is an endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinase that is involved in the remodeling of blood vessels and angiogenesis. Our goal was to characterize Tie-2 promoter function as a means of providing insight into the mechanisms of endothelial cell-specific gene regulation. METHODS AND RESULTS When targeted to the Hprt locus of mice, a small Tie-2 promoter fragment (contain...
متن کاملAn autocrine linkage between matrix metalloproteinase-14 and Tie-2 via ectodomain shedding modulates angiopoietin-1-dependent function in endothelial cells.
OBJECTIVE The angiopoietin (Ang)-Tie-2 system plays a critical role during fetal and adult angiogenesis. Herein, we explored the Tie-2 shedding-related molecular mechanisms and the pathophysiological significance. METHODS AND RESULTS By using a mouse hindlimb ischemia model, we observed dissociated expression between the full-length Tie-2 (fTie-2) protein and Tie-2 mRNA in thigh muscles 1 day...
