BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Agents that protect against neurovascular damage provide a powerful neuroprotective strategy. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) may be used to treat neonates with hypoxic-ischemia (HI) because of its autologous capability. We hypothesized that peripherally injected HUVECs entered the brain after HI, protected against neurovascular damage, and provided protec...
We have identified conditions for forming cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) into tubes within a three-dimensional gel that on implantation into immunoincompetent mice undergo remodeling into complex microvessels lined by human endothelium. HUVEC suspended in mixed collagen/fibronectin gels organize into cords with early lumena by 24 h and then apoptose. Twenty-hour constru...
T cell adhesion to endothelium is critical to lymphocyte recirculation and influx into sites of inflammation. We have systematically analyzed the role of four receptor/ligand interactions that mediate adhesion of peripheral human CD4+ T cells to cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC): T cell LFA-1 binding to ICAM-1 and an alternative ligand ("ICAM-X"), T cell VLA-4 binding to V...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Clotting activation and thromboembolic manifestations are common features in patients with cancer. The two-way interaction between tumor cells and host cells is of crucial importance in this context. In the present study we investigated the effect of tumor cell-endothelial cell co-culture on the expression of procoagulant activity in the mixed cell populations. DESIG...
Recent cross-sectional and prospective epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis and human coronary heart disease. Previously, we have established that the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis is capable of invading aortic, heart, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Since atherosclerosis is a chronic inflamm...
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a vasoactive molecule that is generated by vascular cells as a byproduct of heme catabolism and it plays an important physiological role in circulation system. In order to investigate whether exogenous CO can mediate the growth and proliferation of vascular cells, in this study, we used 250 parts per million (ppm) of CO to treat human umbilical artery smooth muscle cell ...
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate LDL modifications by cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) from women smokers and non-smokers. METHODS Modifications of LDL by HUVEC were studied by determining the values of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and the percentage of the most electronegative oxidized LDL fraction (fraction C) by using an ion-exchan...
We compared the effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and thrombin with those of nonlytic concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by hypoxanthine (HX)-xanthine oxidase (XO) on the adhesion properties of human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) to resting polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). PMN adherence to HX-XO-treated HUVEC was increased approximately ...
Hyperhomocysteinemia is an established cause of defective vasorelaxation. Gene expression screening of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) treated with homocysteine (Hcy) revealed that connexin43 (Cx43) was upregulated. Expression of Cx43 was increased more than twofold in Hcy-treated HUVEC. Gap junctional communication (Lucifer yellow and whole cell patch clamp) was not enhanced in ...
We examined the role of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) in the formation of E-selectin following interleukin-1 (IL-1) stimulation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) transfected with lipocaline-type PGD2 synthase (L-PGDS) genes. HUVEC were isolated from human umbilical vein and incubated with 20 U/mL IL-1 and various concentrations of authentic PGD2. The isolated HUVEC were also transfect...
