    Abstract

    β-Catenin Promotes Endothelial Survival by Regulating eNOS Activity and Flow-Dependent Anti-Apoptotic Gene Expression

    Researchers found that β-catenin depleted HUVEC stimulated with pharmacological activators of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) showed a reduction in eNOS phosphorylation as well as reduced intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels compared to control cells in static cultures.

    Splice Variants of lncRNA RNA ANRIL Exert Opposing Effects on Endothelial Cell Activities Associated with Coronary Artery Disease

    Overexpression of ANRIL transcript NR_003529 increased monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells (ECs) and transendothelial monocyte migration (TEM), whereas knockdown of NR_003529 expression reduced monocyte adhesion to ECs and TEM.

    Abstract

    Role of Endothelial Microvesicles Released by p-Cresol on Endothelial Dysfunction

    An in vitro model of endothelial damage mediated by p-cresol (PcEMV) was proposed to evaluate the functional effect of PcEMV on the endothelial repair process carried out by endothelial cells and microRNA that could be involved in this process.

    Abstract

    Zeb1 Promotes Corneal Neovascularization by Regulation of Vascular Endothelial Cell Proliferation

    Investigators showed that Zeb1 is an important factor promoting vascular endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and corneal neovascularization (NV); and a couple of small molecule inhibitors can evict Ctbp from the Zeb1–Ctbp complex, thereby reducing EC Zeb1 expression, proliferation, and corneal NV.
