Endothelial cell-derived semaphorin 3A inhibits filopodia formation by blood vascular tip cells.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A is a well-known major chemoattractant driver of angiogenesis--the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. However, the repellent factors that fine-tune this angiogenic process remain poorly characterized. We investigated the expression and functional role of endothelial cell-derived semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) in retinal angiogenesis, using ...
متن کاملMeningeal cell-derived semaphorin 3A inhibits neurite outgrowth.
The neural scar that forms after injury to the mammalian central nervous system is a barrier to sprouting and regenerating axons. In addition to reactive astrocytes that are present throughout the lesion site, leptomeningeal fibroblasts invade the lesion core. When isolated in vitro, these cells form a very poor substrate for growing neurites, even more so than reactive astrocytes. Nevertheless...
متن کاملVascular endothelial-derived semaphorin 3 inhibits sympathetic axon growth.
Vascular sympathetic innervation is an important determinant of blood pressure and blood flow. The mechanisms that determine vascular sympathetic innervation are not well understood. Recent studies indicate that vascular endothelial cells (EC) express semaphorin 3A, a repulsive axon guidance cue. This suggests that EC would inhibit the growth of axons to blood vessels. The present study tests t...
متن کاملNegative Regulation of Semaphorin-3A Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Using MicroRNA-497-5p
Background: Semaphorin-3A (Sema3A), as a secreted semaphorin, is an immune modulator molecule participating in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate the target-gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. It has been proposed that miRNAs may be crucial to the modulation of the function of semaphorins. Previous findings have proven that miR-497-5p is upregula...
متن کاملSemaphorin 3A elevates endothelial cell permeability through PP2A inactivation.
VE-cadherin-mediated cell-cell junction weakening increases paracellular permeability in response to both angiogenic and inflammatory stimuli. Although Semaphorin 3A has emerged as one of the few known anti-angiogenic factors to exhibit pro-permeability activity, little is known about how it triggers vascular leakage. Here we report that Semaphorin 3A induced VE-cadherin serine phosphorylation ...
