    VCAM‐1‐Targeted
    Gene Delivery Nanoparticles Localize to Inflamed Endothelial Cells and Atherosclerotic Plaques

    An anti‐inflammatory gene therapy nanoparticle targeted to VCAM‐1, a protein overexpressed by inflamed endothelial cells located within atherosclerotic plaque, was developed.

    A Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging and O2
    Generating Injectable Hydrogel for Myocardial Infarction Treatment In Vivo

    In this study, a novel type of injectable hydrogel with dual functions of reactive oxygen species scavenging and O2 generating is fabricated for myocardial infarction treatment in vivo.

    Abstract

    Flow-Mediated
    Susceptibility and Molecular Response of Cerebral Endothelia to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

    Endothelial cells were isolated from human brain and analyzed by RNA sequencing. Human umbilical vein and human brain microvascular cells were used in both monolayer culture and endothelialized within a 3-dimensional printed vascular model of the middle cerebral artery.

    Vasculogenesis
    from Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells Grown in Matrigel with Fully Defined Serum-Free Culture Media

    Investigators designed and tested new endothelial differentiation media with a fully defined composition using standard basal culture media supplemented with a mixture of B27, heparin and growth factors, including VEGF-A165 at different concentrations.

    Expression
    of CARD8 in Human Atherosclerosis and Its Regulation of Inflammatory Proteins in Human Endothelial Cells

    The CARD8 mRNA was knocked-down in HUVECs in vitro, followed by quantitative RT-PCR analysis and OLINK Proteomics. Endothelial and smooth muscle cells in arterial tissue expressed CARD8 and CARD8 correlated with vWF, CD163 and the expression of inflammatory genes, such as CXCL1, CXCL6 and PDGF-A in plaque.

    Human
    Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells Recruit Resident Pericytes and Induce Blood Vessels Maturation to Repair Experimental Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

    Proteomic analyses of human angiogenesis-related factors produced by human adipose tissue-derived stromal/stem cells (hADSCs) showed that both pro- and anti-angiogenic factors were produced by hADSCs in vitro, but only those related to vessel maturation were detectable in vivo.

    Properties of Statins by OATP1A2 and Regulation by Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) Signaling in Human Endothelial Cells

    Cellular uptake and monolayer permeability of atorvastatin, pravastatin, and rosuvastatin were investigated, in vitro, using HUVECs.

    Soluble
    Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitors Improve Angiogenic Function of Endothelial Progenitor Cells via ERK/p38-Mediated miR-126 Upregulation in Myocardial Infarction Mice after Exercise

    Mice were subjected to exercise training for four weeks. Bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were isolated and cultured in vitro. Exercise upregulated miR-126 expression but downregulated the protein levels of its target gene, Spred1, in EPCs from myocardial infarctionmice.

    RNA
    Sequencing Reveals BMP4 as a Basis for the Dual-Target Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy

    Researchers explored the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathand identified new treatments that can provide dual-target intervention for angiogenesis and fibrosis. They explored changes in gene expression in high glucose–induced vascular endothelial cells using RNA sequencing technology.
