The pulmonary endothelial cell.
The surface of the endothelial cells of the pulmonary trunk of the Wistar albino rat was studied by means of silver preparations and by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. This surface is the site of cytoplasmic projections and the opening of caveolae which together appear to be features associated with the active metabolic rôle of the pulmonary endothelial cell.
متن کاملPulmonary endothelial cell DNA methylation signature in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and incurable pulmonary vascular disease. One of the primary origins of PAH is pulmonary endothelial dysfunction leading to vasoconstriction, aberrant angiogenesis and smooth muscle cell proliferation, endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, thrombosis and inflammation. Our objective was to study the epigenetic variations in pulmonary endothelial...
متن کاملThe hyperproliferative endothelial cell phenotype in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
IN THIS ISSUE OF AJP-LUNG, Masri and colleagues (11) report that pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) isolated from patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) exhibit an unusual hyperproliferative potential, with decreased susceptibility to apoptosis. Interestingly, although the PAECs from IPAH patients grew rapidly when placed in Matrigel, they generated disorganized...
متن کاملRadiation-induced expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in cerebral endothelial cells
Background: Radiation-induced molecular changes on the endothelial surface of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) may be used as markers for specific vascular targeting agents. In this study, we examined the level of expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) on brain endothelial cell surface after radiation treatment, with the aim of targeting the radiation-induc...
متن کاملPulmonary endothelial cell ATP depletion following intestinal ischemia.
Multiple organ failure (MOF) is known to follow systemic inflammatory mediator activation associated with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. In particular, the pulmonary microvasculature appears to be susceptible to MOF-related injury. This study was designed to evaluate the hypothesis that non-cellular plasma factors associated with intestinal ischemia without reperfusion also mediate pul...
