Inhibition of Rho-kinase attenuates hypoxia-induced angiogenesis in the pulmonary circulation.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of chronic hypoxic lung diseases, which increase morbidity and mortality. Hypoxic PH has previously been attributed to structural changes in the pulmonary vasculature including narrowing of the vascular lumen and loss of vessels, which produce a fixed increase in resistance. Using quantitative stereology, we now show that chronic hypoxia caus...
متن کاملMethyltransferase G9a promotes cervical cancer angiogenesis and decreases patient survival
Research suggests that the epigenetic regulator G9a, a H3K9 histone methyltransferase, is involved in cancer invasion and metastasis. Here we show that G9a is linked to cancer angiogenesis and poor patient survival. Invasive cervical cancer has a higher G9a expression than cancer precursors or normal epithelium. Pharmacological inhibition and genetic silencing of G9a suppresses H3K9 methylation...
متن کاملBevacizumab attenuates VEGF-induced angiogenesis and vascular malformations in the adult mouse brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is elevated in human brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVM). We have developed a bAVM model in the adult mouse by focal Alk1 gene deletion and human VEGF stimulation. We hypothesized that once the abnormal vasculature has been established, tonic VEGF stimulation is necessary to maintain the abnormal phenotype, and VEG...
متن کاملChronic continuous hypoxia decreases the expression of SLC4A7 (NBCn1) and SLC4A10 (NCBE) in mouse brain.
In the mammalian CNS, hypoxia causes a wide range of physiological effects, and these effects often depend on the stage of development. Among the effects are alterations in pH homeostasis. Na+-coupled HCO3(-) transporters can play critical roles in intracellular pH regulation and several, such as NCBE and NBCn1, are expressed abundantly in the central nervous system. In the present study, we ex...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase inhibition in ischemic brain injury.
Neuroinflammation is one of the key pathological events involved in the progression of brain damage caused by cerebral ischemia. Metabolism of arachidonic acid through cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes is known to be actively involved in the neuroinflammatory events leading to neuronal death after ischemia. Two isoforms of COX, termed COX-1 and COX-2, have been identified. Unlike COX-1, COX-2 expres...
