Verifiable Hypotheses for Thymosin β4-Dependent and -Independent Angiogenic Induction of Trichinella spiralis-Triggered Nurse Cell Formation
Trichinella spiralis has been reported to induce angiogenesis for nutrient supply and waste disposal by the induction of the angiogenic molecule vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) during nurse cell formation. However, the action mechanism to induce VEGF in nurse cells by T. spiralis is not known. Hypoxia in nurse cells was suggested as a possible mechanism; however, the presence of ...
متن کاملThymosin β4 promotes the survival and angiogenesis of transplanted endothelial progenitor cells in the infarcted myocardium
The survival of transplanted stem cells in ischemic tissue is poor. In the present study, the effects of thymosin β4 (Tβ4) on the survival and angiogenesis of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and improvement in cardiac functions after transplantation of Tβ4-treated EPCs in the infarcted myocardium were investigated. EPCs were isolated from bone marrow of adult male rats and incubated in Endo...

متن کاملThymosin β4 reduces senescence of endothelial progenitor cells via the PI3K/Akt/eNOS signal transduction pathway.
We previously demonstrated that thymosin β4 (Tβ4) regulates a variety of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) functions, including cell migration, proliferation, survival and angiogenesis. However, the effect of Tβ4 on the senescence of circulating EPCs remains unclear. In the present study, the effect of Tβ4 on EPC senescence and the signal transduction pathways involved in this process was inves...
متن کاملThymosin β4 in rheumatoid arthritis: Friend or foe.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has characteristic pannus tissues, which show tumor-like growth of the synovium through chronic joint inflammation. The synovium is highly penetrated by various immune cells, and the synovial lining becomes hyperplastic due to increased numbers of macrophage-like and fibroblast-like synoviocytes. Thus, a resultant hypoxic condition stimulates the expression of inflamma...
