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...

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...

Platelets, in addition to maintaining hemostasis, also stimulate angiogenesis by generating and releasing, upon activation, factors that promote the growth of new blood vessels. To date, at least 20 angiogenesis-regulating factors have been identified in platelets, including both promoters and...

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...

Thrombotic microangiopathies are group of diseases that refer to clinical and pathological syndromes where endothelial injury results in the manifestations of capillary thrombosis, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, schistocytosis, and can lead to renal failure. In this thesis we aimed to study...

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...
