Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition in pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND The vascular remodeling responsible for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) involves predominantly the accumulation of α-smooth muscle actin-expressing mesenchymal-like cells in obstructive pulmonary vascular lesions. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) may be a source of those α-smooth muscle actin-expressing cells. METHODS AND RESULTS In situ evidence of EndoMT in hu...
متن کاملEndothelial-to-mesenchymal transition drives atherosclerosis progression.
The molecular mechanisms responsible for the development and progression of atherosclerotic lesions have not been fully established. Here, we investigated the role played by endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) and its key regulator FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) in atherosclerosis. In cultured human endothelial cells, both inflammatory cytokines and oscillatory shear stress reduced endothelia...
متن کاملmiR-200b Mediates Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy.
Hyperglycemia-induced endothelial injury is a key pathogenetic factor in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Endothelial injury may lead to a phenotypic change (i.e., endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition [EndMT]), causing cardiac fibrosis. Epigenetic mechanisms, through specific microRNA, may regulate such a process. We investigated the mechanisms for such changes in cardiac microvascular endothelial cel...
متن کاملTie1 deficiency induces endothelial-mesenchymal transition.
Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) has a significant role in embryonic heart formation and in various pathologies. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate EndMT induction remain to be elucidated. We show that suppression of receptor tyrosine kinase Tie1 but not Tie2 induces human endothelial cells to undergo EndMT and that Slug deficiency reverts this process. We find that Erk1/...
متن کاملEpithelial-to-mesenchymal and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition: from cardiovascular development to disease.
Cellular switching from an epithelial-to-mesenchymal phenotype, and conversely from a mesenchymal-toepithelial phenotype, are important biological programs that are operative from conception to death in mammalian organisms. Indeed, the capacity of cells to switch between these states has been fundamental to the generation of complex body patterns throughout evolution. Phenotypic switching from ...
