Small Molecule Compound M12 Reduces Vascular Permeability in Obese Mice via Blocking Endothelial TRPV4–Nox2 Interaction

The authors showed that interrupting TRPV4–Nox2 coupling by TRPV4 knockout, or by treatment with a specific Nox2 inhibitor Nox2 dstat or a specific TRPV4 inhibitor HC067046 significantly attenuated obesity-induced ROS overproduction in aortic endothelial cells, and reversed the abnormal endothelial cytoskeletal structure.

SDF-1 Secreted by Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes the Migration of Endothelial Progenitor Cells via CXCR4/PI3K/AKT Pathway

The authors investigated whether stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 secreted by mesenchymal stem cells contributed to endothelial progenitor cell migration to ischemic sites via CXCR4/Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases/protein kinase B signaling pathway.

Abstract Graphical Abstract

MARCO⁺ Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Sequester Arthritogenic Alphaviruses to Limit Viremia and Viral Dissemination

Following subcutaneous inoculation, arthritogenic alphavirus particles drained via the lymph and were rapidly captured by MARCO+ lymphatic endothelial cells in the draining lymph node, limiting viral spread to the bloodstream.

Calcium-Channel-Blockers Exhibit Divergent Regulation of Cancer Extravasation through the Mechanical Properties of Cancer Cells and Underlying Vascular Endothelial Cells

Researchers examined the role of calcium-channel blocking drugs on mechanics of extravasating cancer cells, choosing two clinically-approved calcium-channel blockers as model antihypertensive drugs to simultaneously target cancer cells and an underlying monolayer of endothelial cells.
