Functional adrenocorticotropic hormone receptor in cultured human vascular endothelial cells : possible role in control of blood pressure.
Hypertension is a prominent feature of patients with Cushing's disease and ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome, who have elevated ACTH levels. Chronic administration of ACTH (1-24) also raises blood pressure in humans. This effect has been postulated to be due to ACTH-induced increases in cortisol secretion in the adrenal gland. It is well known that cortisol increases vascular ...
متن کاملCultured Human Endothelial Cells
The propensity of Staphylococcus aureus to cause acute endovascular infections during transient bacteremia is poorly understood. To examine the events leading to the attachment ofstaphylococci to endothelium, adherence assays were developed to study the role of blood factors in the mediation of staphylococcal adherence to cultured human umbilical vein endothelium in vitro. Results indicate that...
متن کاملInjury to cultured human vascular endothelial cells by copper (CuSO4).
The effect of copper sulfate (CuSO4) on cultured human vascular endothelial (HVE) cells and cultured human fibroblasts (HAIN-55) was investigated. HVE cells were collected from umbilical veins by enzymatic digestion with collagenase. The viability, subsequent growth and DNA synthesis of both cell types were inhibited concentration-dependently by the addition of copper. The cytotoxic effect of c...
متن کاملFunctional CB1 cannabinoid receptors in human vascular endothelial cells.
Cannabinoid CB1 receptor mRNA was detected using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in endothelial cells from human aorta and hepatic artery and in the ECV304 cell line derived from human umbilical vein endothelial cells. CB1 receptor-binding sites were detected by the high-affinity antagonist radioligand [(125)I]AM-251. In ECV304 cells, both the highly potent synthetic ca...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate to Endothelial Cells Using Recombinant Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor –A
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an endothelial cell-specific mitogen produced by various cell types, plays important roles in cell differentiation and proliferation. In this study we investigated the effect of recombinant VEGF-A on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to endothelial cells (ECs). Methods: VEGF-A was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and BL21...
