Out phoxing the endothelium: what's left without p47?
presented in this issue lies as much in the questions it raises as in those it answers. In setting out to prove that p47, a regulatory subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase, is equally vital to the superoxide-generating enzyme of vascular endothelial cells, which they successfully did, they also turned up a number of unexpected observations. The latter results, whose interpretation will necess...
متن کاملInside-Out Regulation of ICAM-1 Dynamics in TNF-α-Activated Endothelium
BACKGROUND During transendothelial migration, leukocytes use adhesion molecules, such as ICAM-1, to adhere to the endothelium. ICAM-1 is a dynamic molecule that is localized in the apical membrane of the endothelium and clusters upon binding to leukocytes. However, not much is known about the regulation of ICAM-1 clustering and whether membrane dynamics are linked to the ability of ICAM-1 to cl...
متن کاملEndothelium.
Endothelial cells form a subtle monolayer covering the inner surface of the vascular tree. This unique localization allows them to integrate physical and neurohumoral signals from the blood and surrounding tissues to regulate vascular tone, cellular adhesion, inflammation, smooth muscle phenotype and proliferation as well as thromboresistance. Alterations of endothelial atheroprotective functio...
متن کاملGender and the endothelium.
The understanding of the basis of gender differences in vascular function is of critical importance to establish gender targeted interventions in cardiovascular medicine. In this review we concentrate on the central role of the endothelium in respect to gender differences in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. The role of estrogen and its receptors is introduced not only as key playe...
متن کاملTargeting the Endothelium
The endothelium is an active organ with paracrine-endocrine capabilities that directs a multitude of physiological actions both locally and remotely. Cardiac arrest and resuscitation is a model of whole body ischemia reperfusion injury, interventions that have their basis in cytoprotection, reduction of the inflammatory cascade, fibrinolysis and improvement of microvasculature blood flow target...
