Angiogenesis is essential for uterine decidualization, the progesterone-mediated transformation of the uterus allowing embryo implantation and initiation of pregnancy. In the current study, we define the vasculature, expression of Notch proteins and Notch ligands, and Notch activity in both endothelial cells and vascular-associated mural cells of blood vessels in the pre-implantation endometrium a...... hiện toàn bộ
Regulation of endothelial permeability and transendothelial migration of cancer cells by tropomyosin-1 phosphorylationPubliverse Online S.R.L - Tập 4 - Trang 1-13 - 2012
Bryan Simoneau, François Houle, Jacques Huot
Loss of endothelial cell integrity and selective permeability barrier is an early event in the sequence of oxidant-mediated injury and may result in atherosclerosis, hypertension and facilitation of transendothelial migration of cancer cells during metastasis. We already reported that endothelial cell integrity is tightly regulated by the balanced co-activation of p38 and ERK pathways. In particul...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of a novel cyclic RGD peptidomimetic on cell proliferation, migration and angiogenic activity in human endothelial cellsPubliverse Online S.R.L - Tập 6 - Trang 1-9 - 2014

Cyclic RGD peptidomimetics containing a bifunctional diketopiperazine scaffold are a novel class of high-affinity ligands for the integrins αVβ3 and αVβ5. Since integrins are a promising target for the modulation of normal and pathological angiogenesis, the present study aimed at characterizing the ability of the RGD peptidomimetic cyclo[DKP-RGD] 1 proliferation, migration and network formation in...... hiện toàn bộ
Myeloid cells in tumor inflammationPubliverse Online S.R.L - Tập 4 - Trang 1-7 - 2012
Michael C Schmid, Judith A Varner
Bone marrow derived myeloid cells progressively accumulate in tumors, where they establish an inflammatory microenvironment that is favorable for tumor growth and spread. These cells are comprised primarily of monocytic and granulocytic myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) or tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which are generally associated with a poor clinical outcome. MDSCs and TAMs promot...... hiện toàn bộ
Nanotechnology-mediated targeting of tumor angiogenesisPubliverse Online S.R.L - Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2011
Deboshri Banerjee, Rania Harfouche, Shiladitya Sengupta
Angiogenesis is disregulated in many diseased states, most notably in cancer. An emerging strategy for the development of therapies targeting tumor-associated angiogenesis is to harness the potential of nanotechnology to improve the pharmacology of chemotherapeutics, including anti-angiogenic agents. Nanoparticles confer several advantages over that of free drugs, including their capability to car...... hiện toàn bộ
Pleiotrophin expression and role in physiological angiogenesis in vivo: potential involvement of nucleolinPubliverse Online S.R.L - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 4 - 2012

Notch modulates VEGF action in endothelial cells by inducing Matrix Metalloprotease activityPubliverse Online S.R.L - Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2011
Yasuhiro Funahashi, Carrie J Shawber, Anshula Sharma, Emi Kanamaru, Yun K Choi, Jan Kitajewski
In the vasculature, Notch signaling functions as a downstream effecter of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) signaling. VEGF regulates sprouting angiogenesis in part by inducing and activating matrix metalloproteases (MMPs). This study sought to determine if VEGF regulation of MMPs was mediated via Notch signaling and to determine how Notch regulation of MMPs influenced endothelial cell mor...... hiện toàn bộ
