Angiostatin inhibits endothelial MMP-2 and MMP-14 expression: A hypoxia specific mechanism of action
Download2013
Zielnik-Drabik, B., Jurasz, P., Radziwon-Balicka, A., Moncada de la Rosa, C., Ramer, C.
Angiostatin is an angiogenesis inhibitor in part generated by and released from platelets. Since platelets upon thrombus formation can give rise to areas of hypoxia, we investigated the effects of angiostatin on endothelial cell migration and apoptosis during hypoxia. Human microvascular...

Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathobiology of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
DownloadFall 2015
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide, largely due to a high frequency of tumor invasion/metastasis, chemoresistance and recurrence. In this study, we explored from different perspectives the molecular mechanisms behind these aggressive features of...

Angiogenesis, the process of forming new blood vessels from a pre-exciting vasculature, is an essential component of embryonic development, tissue remodelling, wound healing, and tumor growth. This process is strictly regulated by a vast array of cellular signalling pathways involving kinases,...

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a broad term for a range of diseases that usually manifest with rapid failure of the affected organ. Although different in etiology, these diseases share a common pattern of injury originating in the vascular endothelium. In turn, the injured vasculature...

Renal glomeruli are specialized capillaries that produce a protein-free ultrafiltrate of plasma at an extremely high rate. Glomerular endothelial cells (EC) and podocytes sustain the integrity of filtration barrier, and glomerular mesangial cells provide intravascular support. Podocytes cover...

The role of endothelial PI3 kinase activity and IQGAP1 in regulation of lymphocyte diapedesis
DownloadFall 2011
Leukocyte extravasation is a fundamental process of the inflammatory responses. The mechanisms that control remodelling of endothelial (EC) shape and adhesive contacts during leukocyte transendothelial migration (TEM) are not completely understood. We studied the role of EC phosphatidylinositol...
