  • Glaucoma leads to the loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons but also to tissue remodelling which involves both the optic nerve head and the retina. (molvis.org)
  • The signals and receptors must function properly at all times so the cells will know what they are supposed to do (Fuchs & Chen 2013). (wikipedia.org)
  • ECs were treated with oxLDL under HG conditions in the presence or absence of ROS scavengers mitoTEMPO and NAC, p38 inhibitor SB203580, FOXO1 inhibitor AS1842856 or transfected with the TXNIP siRNA, before protein expression levels of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM‑1), vascular cell adhesion molecule‑1 (VCAM‑1), phosphorylated vascular endothelial‑cadherin (VE‑cadhedrin), VE‑cadherin and zonula occludens‑1 (ZO‑1) were measured by western blotting. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • In addition, oxLDL‑stimulated ECs under HG conditions exhibited increased phosphorylated VE‑cadherin protein levels and decreased ZO‑1 protein expression levels compared with those in untreated ECs, suggesting increased endothelial permeability. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • UCN-01, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, induces growth arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells and was recently introduced in a phase I clinical trial. (karger.com)
  • It has shown that miR-429 could inhibit the development of colorectal cancer via targeting in large tumor suppressor kinase (LATS2), and decreased miR-429 could promote the expression of SRY-box transcription factor 2 (SOX2) and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) to attenuate the neuronal injury induced by accumulation of amyloid β -protein [ 12 ].

  • P-selectin (PADGEM, GMP-140, CD62) is a transmembrane protein specific to alpha granules of platelets and Weibel-Palade bodies of endotheial cells. (rupress.org)
  • To investigate whether the mechanism of targeting of P-selectin to granules is specific for megakaryocytes and endothelial cells and/or dependent on von Willebrand factor, a soluble adhesive protein that is stored in the same granules, we have expressed the cDNA for P-selectin in AtT-20 cells. (rupress.org)
  • In conclusion, we provide evidence for the regulated secretion of a transmembrane protein (P-selectin) in a heterologous cell line, which indicates that P-selectin contains an independent sorting signal directing it to storage granules. (rupress.org)
  • Like stem cells, progenitor cells have a capacity to differentiate into a specific type of cell. (phys.org)
  • In contrast to stem cells, however, they are already far more specific: they are pushed to differentiate into their "target" cell. (phys.org)
  • TMAO treatment for either 24H or 48H induces reduced cell viability and enhanced oxidative stress. (nature.com)
  • Endothelial stem cells (ESCs) are one of three types of stem cells found in bone marrow. (wikipedia.org)
  • These parent stem cells, ESCs, give rise to progenitor cells, which are intermediate stem cells that lose potency. (wikipedia.org)
  • Stem cells have the unique ability make identical copies of themselves. (wikipedia.org)
  • For stem cells, this usually occurs through several stages, when a cell proliferates giving rise to daughter cells that are further specialized. (wikipedia.org)
  • Hematopoietic stem cells are crucial for the continuous production of blood cells during life. (biorxiv.org)
  • One option to get hematopoietic stem cells matching perfectly a patient is cellular reprogramming. (biorxiv.org)
  • Hematopoietic stem cells emerge from endothelial cells in blood vessels during embryogenesis through the endothelial to hematopoietic transition. (biorxiv.org)
  • Using a combination of gene expression profiling and gene regulatory network analysis, we found that endothelial cells from the pancreas, brain, kidney and liver appear to be the most suitable targets for cellular reprogramming into hematopoietic stem cells. (biorxiv.org)
  • Overall, our work provides an important resource for the rational design of a reprogramming strategy for the generation of hematopoietic stem cells. (biorxiv.org)
  • Cells in the blood such as immune cells, red blood cells and other vital cell types are constantly renewed from stem cells, the so-called hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). (phys.org)
  • The most important difference between stem cells and progenitor cells is that stem cells can replicate indefinitely, whereas progenitor cells can only divide a limited number of times. (phys.org)
  • Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in oxLDL‑induced endothelial permeability and monocyte diapedesis under HG conditions, in addition to the potential effects of rosmarinic acid. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • In contrast, when the scientists blocked integrin function they observed that the cells only migrated individually. (mpg.de)
