p53 protects against LPS-induced lung endothelial barrier dysfunction.
New therapies toward heart and blood vessel disorders may emerge from the development of Hsp90 inhibitors. Several independent studies suggest potent anti-inflammatory activities of those agents in human tissues. The molecular mechanisms responsible for their protective effects in the vasculature remain unclear. The present study demonstrates that the transcription factor p53, an Hsp90 client p...
متن کاملKeratinocyte growth factor induces angiogenesis and protects endothelial barrier function.
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), also called fibroblast growth factor-7, is widely known as a paracrine growth and differentiation factor that is produced by mesenchymal cells and has been thought to act specifically on epithelial cells. Here it is shown to affect a new cell type, the microvascular endothelial cell. At subnanomolar concentrations KGF induced in vivo neovascularization in the r...
متن کاملNegative-feedback loop attenuates hydrostatic lung edema via a cGMP-dependent regulation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4.
Although the formation of hydrostatic lung edema is generally attributed to imbalanced Starling forces, recent data show that lung endothelial cells respond to increased vascular pressure and may thus regulate vascular permeability and edema formation. In combining real-time optical imaging of the endothelial Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and NO production with filtration coefficient (K(f)...
متن کاملIloprost improves endothelial barrier function in lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury.
The protective effects of prostacyclin and its stable analogue iloprost are mediated by elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) leading to enhancement of the peripheral actin cytoskeleton and cell-cell adhesive structures. This study tested the hypothesis that iloprost may exhibit protective effects against lung injury and endothelial barrier dysfunction induced by bacterial wall lipopolys...
متن کاملNegative feedback regulation of endothelial cell function by nitric oxide.
The objective of this study was to determine whether nitric oxide (NO) could function as a negative feedback modulator of endothelial cell function by inhibiting NO synthase in vascular endothelial cells. The rationale for this approach was a previous study from this laboratory, which revealed that NO inhibits neuronal NO synthase from rat cerebellum. In the present study, NO and NO-donor agent...
