Polar expression of tissue factor in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
Endothelial cells grown on filters developed junctional complexes that reduced diffusional transport and increased electrical resistance over the cell layer. Induction of tissue factor by recombinant interleukin-1 beta led to a highly polarized tissue factor expression on the apical cell surface only. After prolonged growth to allow deposition of matrix, removal of the endothelial cells by coll...
متن کاملHyperglycemia- Induced NF-κB Activation Increases microRNA-146a Expression in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Background & objectives: Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB), a master switch transcription factor, plays a critical role in the progression and development of hyperglycemia-induced microangiopathy. Hyperglycemia activates NF-κB, and subsequently increases pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β leading to development of inflammation. Some new studies have revealed the involvement o...
متن کاملFluvastatin Upregulates the Expression of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells.
AIM 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) are cholesterol-lowering drugs with a variety of pleiotropic effects including antithrombotic properties. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), which is produced predominantly in endothelial cells and platelets, inhibits the initiating phase of clot formation. We investigated the effect of fluvastatin on TFPI expression ...
متن کاملAnti-angiogenic Effects of Metformin, an AMPK Activator, on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells and on Granulation Tissue in Rat
Objective(s)Metformin is well known for activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK activation inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) as a key signaling process in cell proliferation. Recent epidemiological studies demonstrate that metformin lowers the risk for several types of cancer in diabetic patients. Concerning the critical role of angiogenesis in the incidence and prog...
متن کاملTissue factor: A potent stimulator of Von Willebrand factor synthesis by human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Inflammation and dysfunction of endothelial cells are thought to be triggers for the secretion of Von Willebrand factor. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and the coagulation factors, tissue factor and thrombin on the release and cleavage potential of ultra-large von ...
